Her daddy said "I'm gonna kill him"
Her momma's heart was about to break
Sarah sat on that couch cryin',
17 and 2 months late
Her daddy said "You gonna ruin your life
He's no good and you're way too young"
He started givin' her all the options
But to Sarah there was only one
She loved that boy and he loved her
That night she snuck out
Met up with Jimmy and they headed outta town
Crossed the border and they said their vows,
they didn't have a ring or a wedding gate
It wasn't much of a honeymoon, a sack of pritzels and a motel room
But they had each other and they had faith
That sometimes good things come to those who can't wait
They moved in with Jimmy's folks
'Till they found a little place to rent
His momma gave him her old plaid sofa, a couple plates and a dinette set
Sarah worked at the beauty shop
Jimmy got a job layin' bricks
They worked hard but it was worth it
The first time they felt that baby kick
Jimmy said he could play for New Orleans
One night Sarah woke him up,
Said it's time and this time it was
Jimmy d*** near wrecked the truck, doin' 90 down the interstate
They made it to the delivery room
Sarah's folks were right there too
And they knew when they saw that baby's face
That sometimes good things come to those who can't wait
And that's the story my momma tells to this day
That sometimes good things come to those who can't wait
Her momma's heart was about to break
