There was a time when I was handsome   There was a time when I had money to burn   There was a time when where I landed   Was the least of my, the least of my concerns      But it hurts to lean back in these handcuffs   Like nine kinds of shame turned to rage   As a younger man, I might have put up a fight   But I feel like such a fool at my age      Some of this trouble just finds me   No matter where I turn   So how do you know when it's too late   How do you know when it's too late   How do you know when it's too late to learn?      You know the number one symptom of heart disease   The number one symptom of heart disease is sudden death   It's like time stands still forever until   It starts shaking around on you   Shaking around like some crazy old hooker on meth      And you know me, I can't take no preachin'   Not on Sunday, and no other day   But I feel like I oughta be prayin' to something   And I have no idea what to say      Some of this trouble just finds me   Most of this trouble I earned   How do you know when it's too late   How do you know when it's too late   How do you know when it's too late to learn?      I've learned nothing out here on this highway   But I have been passed by and I have   Passed by more than my share of cars   And I do remember my younger days   When I was so certain that driving even faster   Was going to get me far      So there's nothing left for me to learn here   Just this half-full or half-empty cup   Less than ounce of possession, man?   I could do that kind of time standing up      Most of this trouble just finds me   No matter where I turn   How do you know when it's too late   How do you know when it's too late   How do you know when it's too late to learn?
