  • Lyrics

    You torched a Saab like a pile of leaves

    I’d gone to find some better wheels

    4, 5 meters running round the bend

    When the government agents surround you again

    If Diane Young won’t change your mind,

    Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

    Out of control but you’re playing a role

    Do you think you can go til the 18th hole

    Or will you flip-flop the day of the championship?

    Try to go it alone on your own for a bit

    If Diane Young won’t change your mind,

    Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

    Irish and proud, baby, naturally

    But you got the luck of a Kennedy

    So grab the wheel and keep holding it tight

    Til you’re tottering off into that good night

    If Diane Young won’t change your mind,

    Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time

    Nobody knows what the future holds

    And it’s bad enough just getting old

    Live my life in self-defense

    You know I love the past cuz I hate suspense

    If Diane Young won’t change your mind,

    Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time
