Too Late To Die Young - Dan Bern[00:00:00]
The day that Elvis died[00:00:07]
Was like a mercy killing[00:00:09]
America breathed a sigh of relief[00:00:12]
We knew all about the[00:00:16]
Drugs and the Vegas shows[00:00:18]
And there wasn't much[00:00:21]
Of anything that looked like grief[00:00:22]
And I guess he shoulda[00:00:26]
Done like James Dean did[00:00:27]
'Stead of putting on weight[00:00:30]
And sinkin' down down down[00:00:32]
Easier to take if he'd[00:00:35]
Of just skidded straight[00:00:38]
To souvenir city and T-shirt town[00:00:40]
And sometimes I wish [00:00:44]
I was smarter that I am[00:00:46]
But I'm on my third city[00:00:49]
And I'm on my fourth car[00:00:51]
And I'm on my fifth apartment[00:00:54]
And so many of my days have sprung[00:00:56]
And now it's too late to crash [00:01:00]
Too late to burn too late to die young[00:01:03]
If Pete Rose had exploded[00:01:17]
Like Roberto Clemente[00:01:19]
He'd be hanging in the Hall[00:01:22]
Of Fame without fail[00:01:24]
Can you name the last[00:01:26]
Good film Marlon Brando made[00:01:28]
While trying to keep[00:01:31]
His kid from goin' to jail [00:01:32]
And the old people[00:01:36]
In the street are telling you[00:01:37]
Don't become like me but[00:01:41]
Every day you creep a little bit closer[00:01:44]
And I guess we shoulda[00:01:49]
Done like James Dean did[00:01:51]
'Stead of putting on weight[00:01:54]
And sinkin' down down down[00:01:56]
Easier to take if we'd[00:01:59]
Of had just skidded straight[00:02:01]
To souvenir city and T-shirt town[00:02:03]
And sometimes I wish [00:02:08]
I was smarter that I am[00:02:10]
But I'm on my third city[00:02:13]
And I'm on my fourth car[00:02:15]
And I'm on my fifth apartment[00:02:17]
And so many of my days have sprung[00:02:19]
And now it's too late to crash [00:02:23]
Too late to burn too late to die[00:02:27]
Now it's too late to crash [00:02:32]
Too late to burn too late to die young[00:02:36]
