	Lyrics Well the rain it hit Route 80 and my old man slowed down the car Exit 26 or 7 is coming soon. It can't be far These wiper blades they can't keep up, this old Ford rambler not no truck I'm pulling over son believe me. Please St. Christopher, don't leave me Oh NOT NOW! My aunt Madeline she wasn't home, my Aunt Louise was also gone The rain it slowed up for a moment. We went somplace we couldn't get wet We hit the Hostess shop for a bottle of pop, Rea's Bar for one quick beer The car died out up in Stanhope. Dad cried "Jesus Christ, not here" Oh no NOT NOW! We're not close yet we're not far. Oh Lord NOT NOW! God damn this rain. Damn this car. Oh no NOT NOW! My Mom called up from Randolph, "Where's my husband? Where's my son? I need cigarettes and coffee. Tell me when he's coming home. Walley's store's only up the road and he's been gone for just too long He must be there. He ain't down here. Dad heard the news. I said, "Dad, home?" He said, "NOT NOW. Your Mom, she's fit to be tied down. Oh no NOT NOW! No We'll just lay low... She'll come around but oh, NOT NOW!" I was 11 when we left Randolph. My old man he lost the house My Mom didn't mind the moving. But my brother chuck, he was moving out. He had his frioends and he had his football. Had a fort built like a house He was snotty, only 13 or Daddy had've prob'ly kicked him out, but oh, NOT NOW! My Dad had too much on his mind. Oh no NOT NOW! He really should have left the little kid behind but oh NOT NOW! My Dad worked hard for what he got. He went to school. He was gone a lot He bought a big house, a big white car. We lived good. We ate like stars Mom, she dressed nice and she lost weight. She talked of God. She talked of faith She picked one son out of three. It wasn't Chucky and it wasn't me Well, you know who, he got in a fight last night. Hey! Someone took out his lights last night Rouge, mascara, makeup base. Oh Jesus Christ what's on your face? Oh Chuck don't hit him. He's still your son. He just here's the beat of a different drum My Dad didn't have to say it. Well you could see it in his face. Oh no NOT NOW! Just then Mom, she started throwing mud. She said, "Looky here. You got your other son. He's been pushing something in his arms, needles here and his arms all scarred Linda T's been drinking hard. She fell in love. Someone broke her heart And lately I've been thinkin', I'll be leaving in your Lincoln It was 30 years just short 5 days, when the judge said, "Done. Your gold bands' are a waste" Well, I sat down and wrote this song. Never meant to hurt no one But if I did... .... I'll apologize... ... But NOT right NOW! No NOT NOW! ©1994 Tannehill Tunes ASCAP
