Too Early
:::::::::
Jay Farrar
from Son Volt, "Trace"
FMileage has taken its toll, painted with Flines to show,
Dm Am F
You've had your fill of asphaltG, cough tremors and smoke-filled doors.
FLook like the habit cFontrols you, look like you need a rest,
DmYou've mAmade it to thFe teller line, don't kGnow what to expect.
(chorus)
DmGod knowFs you don't need it,
AmToo earlFy you might be the one.
Find yourself someGone else,
Too earFly in the sun.
Song strains distant over the barroom drink-filled roar,
The old folksinger lays it down, not for long, no longer ignored.
Spinning tales of temptation, of gambling days lost and won,
No crimes committed here, too much habit could be the one.
(chorus)
Never seen half of what you've seen, real life never quite adds up.
The road goes on when the faces don't, word of mouth never tells the truth.
I'd like to hear your story told with a two-step beat and rhyme,
Could be Tennessee or Texas, on and on the mad road winds.
(chorus)
