Little Too Late

I knew you from the day the door got kicked in
 The gang was hanging around 'cause we had some things to talk about
 You were stoned from out of town,
 Your head up on the moon
 You needed some place to hide out and our place would have to do
 ♪
 Pigeon-toed and guilty just a friend of a friend of a friend
 You've taken a fall and missed the ground
 But just kept on going
 We never knew just what it was
 You weren't no Hester Prynne
 But you said something before you left
 That we all could believe in
 You said
 It's not how you swim it's how you hold your breath
 It's not about playing fair in this life
 It's more about cheating death
 If you don't like getting old
 Well you'll hate the other choice I'm told
 'Cause it's a little too late to die young (it's a little too late to die young)
 Ooh, It's a little too late to die young (it's a little too late to die young)
 The night got long, we sang some songs and we shared some stories too
 We popped the top of the last cold pop
 As the sky was turning blue
 All of a sudden the door crashed in
 And in came six big police men
 As they carries you away, you said those words again.
 You said
 It's not how you swim it's how you hold your breath
 It's not about playing fair in this life
 It's more about cheating death
 If you don't like getting old
 Well you'll hate the other choice I'm told
 'Cause it's a little too late to die young (it's a little too late to die young)
 Ooh, It's a little too late to die young (it's a little too late to die young)
 Ooh. ya!

 One fine day you're lookin' back
 You worked ten years and you don't have jack
 The dreams you had are wearing thin
 But the new dream just don't let you in
 Part of you wants to go out with a flash
 It's a little too late for that, ooh!
 (it's a little too late to die young) It's a little too late to die young
 (it's a little too late to die young) It's a little too late to die young
 It's a little too late, It's a little too late,
 Little too late, It's a little too late,
 Little too late, It's a little too late,
 Ooh ya... Ooh ya...

 Go tell your Mama that I told ya so
