This Time

There's an old hardwood tree starin' through the glass at me It's been there since eighty-five, sometimes I think it reads my mind I guess it's true, you cant keep it from shinnin' through [Chorus] There's no denyin', I've been hidin' from this thing that's chasin' me Yeah, I've been runnin', no good at shunnin' all these scars from yesterday There comes a time you gotta give it up, spin that wheel and try your luck Never know what you will find, it might be love this time I knew it from that very first smile, I could taste it like a hungry child Not at all like all the rest, you know they say that last is best Like a rainbow on a cloudy day, just to shout it takes my breath away [Chorus] I've been hidin' from this thing that's chasin' me I've been runnin', no good at shunnin' all these scars from yesterday There comes a time you gotta give it up, spin that wheel and try your luck Never know what you will find, it might be love this time This time, this time, oh, this time, this time This time. --- This Time - Alan Jackson
