Better Late Than Never

It's been a long winding road Full of potholes and detours But it's better late than never To reach your destined shores But after that long journey It's more than worth the wait Cause it's better late than never Ain't that's what they always say Starting back in high school Couldn't wait to graduate All the freedoms I could taste them But I was blocked from the starting gate Were times I'd want to quit And bust right through the hold But I've missed the moments now That I treasure more than gold Like falling in and out of love Friendships that still mean the most Or finally asking out that girl I met in FFA That long and winding road Sure made me hesitate A shortcut seemed so tempting I'd be sure not to be late But those journeys I'd be missing In the end its worth the wait Cause it's better late than never For my dreams to be sate I always dreamed of Nashville On a stage with my guitar Life just never seemed to match my dreams Chose life over chasing a star A wife and kids and business No one could ask for a better life Now that I'm feeling settled Finally seems the time is right So I share with those who'll listen The words I set to a tune That life has bottled in me Hope it ain't too late or too soon So I'm singing you this message Sometimes you have to wait It's better late than never And the prize is worth it's weight That long and winding road Takes you places yet untold It's better late than never And your treasure's more than gold
