Too Late For Tears

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 breaks 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
