In A Heartbeat

Me and Katie, we go all the way back to 1993
She was stubborn as a bull, she was beautiful to me
When you're that age all you want is for to be women and men
But opened eyes get a front row glimpse, to the end
She showed me the untouchable world, in the still of my backseat

And it happened in a heartbeat
Straight out of the blue
There was nothing anybody
In the whole wide world could do

I found work to be a funeral, but it kept us all alive
Katie stayed home with the kids, we did it right
If you don't provoke, keep it fed, a burning love can fade
Like a fire left alone in the pit where it was made
And they tell you that it goes by fast, buddy, hold on to your seat

'Cause it happened in a heartbeat
Straight out of the blue
There was nothing anybody
In the whole wide world could do

Empty dresser doors and cabinets
In a letter she spoke her mind
She found something in somebody's arms
She couldn't find in mine

And it happened in a heartbeat
Straight out of the blue
There was nothing anybody
In the whole wide world could do

And it happened
And it happened in a heartbeat
And it happened
And it happened in a heartbeat
