Too Early Lyrics - Trace - Son Volt

Mileage has taken its toll 

Paid it with lines to show 

You've had your fill of asphalt 

Cough tremors, and smoke-filled doors 

Look like the habit controls you 

You look like you need a rest 

You've made it to the timber-line 

Don't know what to expect 

God knows, you don't need it 

Too early, you might be the one 

You to find yourself somewhere else 

Too early in the sun 

Song strains, distant, over 

A barroom drink-filled roar 

The old folksinger lays it down 

Not for long, no longer ignored 

Spinning tales of temptation 

Gambling days lost and won 

No crimes committed here 

Too much habit could be the one 

God knows, you don't need it 

Too early, you might be the one 

To find yourself somewhere else 

Too early in the sun 

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 

Like to hear your story told 

With a two-step beat and rhyme 

Could be Tennessee or Texas 

On and on, that road winds 

God knows, you don't need it 

Too early, you might be the one 

To find yourself somewhere else 

Too early in the sun
