[Verse 1]
On the day I was born, Mary Jones was 10
But just a little bit later on down the line
I looked in her eyes and I realized I'd see her
Just a little bit later on down the line

[Verse 2]
So when I was a man, Mary Jones was my plan
And on the day I was to make her mine
She left me a note and what she wrote was I'll see you
Just a little bit later on down the line

[Verse 3]
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 got to see
The day I heard it said, Mary Jones was wed
They say he looked her age and she looked fine
My one love is gone, now why wasn't she born
Just a little bit later on down the line
Just a little bit later on down the line
