It's Too Late

I'm on my way

and I won't be back tomorrow

I heard the warning shots

above my weary head

No more to say

and there's no more fool to follow

Your favorite whipping boy

has pulled up stakes and fled

And there won't be any fond regrets

or any you'll get over its

No midnight calls to make

or china dolls to break

It's too late!

Call off the dogs

'cause the trail goes on forever

No hostile borderlines

will keep me from my course

We hit the rocks

and it's way past acting clever

I gave you all I had

and all you want is more

'Cause it's all be said and done

and the final bell has rung

The fortune of the fate

There's nothing left to take

It's too late!

What else did you expect

You're just a pain in the

And I almost wrung your neck

Drove me to drink--I can't think

It's too late!
