Miles
left
to
go
it’s
still
the
first
of
May
Planted
all
your
seed
but
the rains they never came Promises you spoke
must be carried out somehow it’s too late it’s too late to die young now
Many walk beside you and never know your name The wind laughs and
chides asks you why you came Bring your supper bucket and the memory of
your
plow it’s too late it’s too late to die young now
If the papers hear you’re coming they’ll call a
big parade But there’s a back door and a back road to
every stage Take all you can carry in the wrinkles on your
brow it’s too late it’s too late to die young now
Judges on the corner laws on the street Walk in the shadows you can
lie, beg, steal and cheat Take all the leeway your conscience will
allow cause it's too late it's
too late to die young now It's too late to die young now It's too late
to die young now It's too
late to die young now
