Doing the slant step in El Paso this year last Girl don't the short of breath go out of business fast? And from the letters that I send, you count the days And never get past one 'Cause time is something in the past And you can blame your friends Break like china plates, or maybe change your name again No one stops here when they're this far Don't lock up the brakes don't strip all the gears Too late for tears baby, too late for tears Don't say it's not up there written in stars I don't want to hear Too late for tears baby, too late for tears Is this the voice that used to scare me when I'd call Saying it ends in resignation after all? And having fought so many wars A thousand victories on the floor Did you think there'd be a prize for thinking small? Hiding from the man But is he real or just a scrape with truth you didn't plan? Get in the car, you don't belong Winning the hours and losing the years Too late for tears baby, too late for tears Don't say it's not up there written in stars I don't want to hear
