D G D G D G A D
[Verse]
G D G D
Don't hang out with that Morgan boy, that's what momma said
G D A D
You'll wind up with a bunch of bad habits and jail or maybe dead
G D G D
But cars in the front seat aimin' that shotgun, 'bout to take a stop sign down
G D A G D
I blow through the fourway, boom goes the twelve gauge, momma it's too late now
[Chorus]
G D A D
It's too late to take it back, guess what's done is done
G D A
I guess I should have listened but I never listened, 'cause that ain't near as fun
G D A Bm
So I keep livin' every- day, I'm given like time is runnin' out
G D A D
If I was gonna change, I'd already changed, I reckin' it's too late now
[Solo]
G D A D
[Verse]
G D G D
I picked up my baby on the court house road, headed down to courtesy creek
G D A D
There were jacked up Jeeps, Fords and Chevys, bare 'bout hell in- deed
G D G D
My baby said, "Don't you do it, don't you dare go through it," but I laid the pedal down
G D A D
It started out good 'til I couldn't see the hood, I said, " Honey, it's too late now"
[Chorus]
G D A D
It's too late to take it back, guess what's done is done
G D A
I guess I should have listened but I never listened, 'cause that ain't near as fun
G D A Bm
So I keep livin' every- day, I'm given like time is runnin' out
G D A D
If I was gonna change, I'd already changed, I reckin' it's too late now
[Solo]

[Verse]
G D G D
It took two chains and one big tractor to pull that truck of mine
G D A D
I nearly blew a gasket flyin' down the highway tryin' to get her home on time
G D A D
Her daddy was waitin', said, " This'll be the last time you'll be comin' a- round"
G D A D
But he didn't see her hug me, tell me that she loved me, daddy it's too late now
[Chorus]
G D A D
It's too late to take it back, guess what's done is done
G D A
I guess I should have listened but I never listened, 'cause that ain't near as fun
G D A Bm
So I keep livin' every- day, I'm given like time is runnin' out
G D A D
If I was gonna change, I'd already changed, I reckin' it's too late now
