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 Go tell your Mama that I told ya so... Ooh ya...
