It's Too Late Now - JJ Lawhorn

Don’t hang out with that Morgan boy, that’s what Moma said

You’ll wind up with a bunch of bad habits and jail or maybe dead

But cars in the front seat aimin' that shotgun

Bout to take a stop sign down

I blow through the four-way

Boom goes the twelve gauge, Moma it’s too late now

It’s too late to take it back, guess what’s done is done

I guess I should have listened but I never listened

Cause that ain’t near as fun

So I keep livin' every day I’m given like time is runnin' out

If I was gonna change I’d already changed, I reckin' it’s too late now

I picked up my baby on the court house road, headed down to courtesy creek

There were jacked up Jeeps, Fords, and Chevys, bare bout hell indeed

My baby said, «Don't you do it, don’t you dare go through it.»

But I laid the pedal down.

It started out good til I couldn’t see the hood

I said, «Honey it’s too late now.»

It’s too late to take it back, guess what’s done is done

I guess I should have listened but I never listened

Cause that ain’t near as fun

So I keep livin' every day I’m given like time is runnin' out

If I was gonna change I’d already changed, I reckin' it’s too late now

It took two chains and one big tractor to pull that truck of mine

I nearly blew a gasket flyin' down the highway tryin'

To get her home on time

Her daddy was waitin', said

«This'll be the last time you’ll be comin' around.»

But he didn’t see her hug me

Tell me that she loved me.

Daddy it’s too late now

It’s too late to take it back, guess what’s done is done

I guess I should have listened but I never listened

Cause that ain’t near as fun

So I keep livin' every day I’m given like time is runnin' out

If I was gonna change I’d already changed, I reckin' it’s too late now
