Carmen Rasmusen Love Will Wait
He had one hand on the wheel
Of his two door Chevy Cavalier
And the other one was runnin'
Through the waves of her sandy hair
It was well past twelve
When they pulled into her parents drive
She didn't think anyone was watchin'
When she kissed him goodnight, busted
Her momma told her
She was grounded for a year
Her daddy said that boy
Ain't welcome around here
She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs
You can say what you wanna say
Lock me up, throw the key away
But if this is really fate then love will wait, love will wait
Two months later her momma
Finally let her off the hook
She said, ?I'm headin' uptown
To return a few library books?
But she climbed in the Cavalier
Sittin' at the Amoco station
He told her time don't matter
Love was worth the waitin', a love sweet, oh yeah
Her momma told her
She was grounded for a year
Her daddy said that boy
Ain't welcome around here
She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs
You can say what you wanna say
Lock me up, throw the key away
But if this is really fate then love will wait, oh yeah
Now there's a little white house
On the edge of a country lake
And daddy's workin' on that
Rusty old Chevy in the driveway
The kids are playin' with the dog
Throwin' frisbee in the front yard
And mama's sittin' on that front porch
Swayin', starin' at that car where it all started
Her momma told her
She was grounded for a year
Her daddy said that boy
Ain't welcome around here
She ran up to her room screamin' down those stairs
You can say what you wanna say
Lock me up, throw the key away
But if this is really fate then fate's gonna have it's way, love will wait
You can try to step in between
Love and destiny but what will be will be
Love will wait, oh yeah, love will wait
