《Too Late To Die Young(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Too Late To Die Young - Dan Bern

[00:00:07] The day that Elvis died

[00:00:09] Was like a mercy killing

[00:00:12] America breathed a sigh of relief

[00:00:16] We knew all about the

[00:00:18] Drugs and the Vegas shows

[00:00:21] And there wasn't much

[00:00:22] Of anything that looked like grief

[00:00:26] And I guess he shoulda

[00:00:27] Done like James Dean did

[00:00:30] 'Stead of putting on weight

[00:00:32] And sinkin' down down down

[00:00:35] Easier to take if he'd

[00:00:38] Of just skidded straight

[00:00:40] To souvenir city and T-shirt town

[00:00:44] And sometimes I wish

[00:00:46] I was smarter that I am

[00:00:49] But I'm on my third city

[00:00:51] And I'm on my fourth car

[00:00:54] And I'm on my fifth apartment

[00:00:56] And so many of my days have sprung

[00:01:00] And now it's too late to crash

[00:01:03] Too late to burn too late to die young

[00:01:17] If Pete Rose had exploded

[00:01:19] Like Roberto Clemente

[00:01:22] He'd be hanging in the Hall

[00:01:24] Of Fame without fail

[00:01:26] Can you name the last

[00:01:28] Good film Marlon Brando made

[00:01:31] While trying to keep

[00:01:32] His kid from goin' to jail

[00:01:36] And the old people

[00:01:37] In the street are telling you

[00:01:41] Don't become like me but

[00:01:44] Every day you creep a little bit closer

[00:01:49] And I guess we shoulda

[00:01:51] Done like James Dean did

[00:01:54] 'Stead of putting on weight

[00:01:56] And sinkin' down down down

[00:01:59] Easier to take if we'd

[00:02:01] Of had just skidded straight

[00:02:03] To souvenir city and T-shirt town

[00:02:08] And sometimes I wish

[00:02:10] I was smarter that I am

[00:02:13] But I'm on my third city

[00:02:15] And I'm on my fourth car

[00:02:17] And I'm on my fifth apartment

[00:02:19] And so many of my days have sprung

[00:02:23] And now it's too late to crash

[00:02:27] Too late to burn too late to die

[00:02:32] Now it's too late to crash

[00:02:36] Too late to burn too late to die young
