(Chip Taylor)

I remember the time she used to be mine
But just a little bit later on down the line
She said bye bye try not to cry
See you just a little bit later on down the line.

See when I was born she was goin' on ten
And on the day that I was to make her mine
She said it's not right so I'm leaving tonight
See you just a little bit later on down the line.

She said babe it ain't that I don't love you
It's just that road is long and there's a lot you've got to see.

But today I heard it said she got herself wed
They say he looked her age and she looked fine
My one love is gone why was I born
Just a little bit later on down the line.

Just a little bit later on down the line...
