[Verse 1]
I was sittin' on her mom and daddy's couch
Every minute feelin' like another hour
Bow tie too tight like that rented tux
She was upstairs, fixin' up her hair
I was wonderin' if we're ever gonna get there
Her daddy laughed, said, "You better get used to that, son"

[Chorus]
She was late like she always is
Late like she's always been
Probably always gonna be runnin' just a little behind
Some things you just can't rush
But you love 'em when they show up
It's okay if it ain't always on time
Some things in this lifе are worth the wait
Even whеn they're late

[Verse 2]
A couple homecomings, a couple graduations
Bunch of dates and a lot of missed reservations
Started thinkin' this is gonna be part of the deal
A little wedding chapel, family and a pastor
Guess who's holdin' up our happy-ever-after
Back in the back puttin' glue on a broken heel

[Chorus]
She was late like she always is
Late like she's always been
Probably always gonna be runnin' just a little behind
Some things you just can't rush
But you love 'em when they show up
It's okay if it ain't always on time
Some things in this life are worth the wait
Even when they're late

[Bridge]
Now there's pink all over the room
And she's gotta be comin' soon
Looks like she's gonna be just like her mama
Hm
Guess she's gonna be late

[Chorus]
Oh, some things you just can't rush
But you love 'em when they show up
It's okay if it ain't always on time
Sometimes, a little more time is what it takes
Those angels layin' there are worth the wait
Even when they're late
[Outro]
Ooh
Even when they're late
