All the years that I wasted All the times I let her down I know the one to blame is in the mirror Lookin' old, runnin' out of time I gave my life to this highway For a drink that I had as a child It's been fun, but it's been lonely Makes it hard to settle down with a wife I ain't never been one for changin' I'm gonna be who I am Too much smoke, and too much drinkin' Too late now to give a damn I ain't never been one for changin' I'm gonna be who I am Too much smoke, and too much drinkin' Too late now to give a damn Too much smoke, and too much drinkin' Too late now to give a damn

It's too late You say you want me, and it's too late Once my love for you was so great But it's too late to love me now It's too bad You say you need me and it's too bad I know the feelin' and it's so sad But it's too late to love me now It's too late to love me now Don't you know how hard I tried to hold out just for you? Lovin' you from mem'ry, day by day Then someone came into my life, turned my dreams around He's takin' all the love you threw away It's too late Say you want me and it's too late Once my love for you was so great But it's too late to love me now It's too late to love me now Don't you know how hard I tried to hold out just for you? Lovin' you from mem'ry, day by day Then someone came into my life, turned my world around He's takin' all the love you threw away It's too late You say you need me and it's too late Once my love for you was so great But it's too late to love me now It's too late to love me now
