Lyrics

A LITTLE EARLIER

Maybe I
Should try something different
Maybe you‘re right
Sometimes I‘m indifferent

The music‘s good
But it took my life
The music‘s good right now
The pain is alive

Trying to really make it with a song
Trying not to fake it for the song

Maybe I should get up a little later
Maybe I should care a little less about work
Maybe I should take the time to get sober
Maybe the hill isn‘t quite as tall, to get over… Someday

Trying not to waste it for a dime
Trying not to break it for a line

And then one day… Ya‘ll ask me where I‘ve been
And maybe a friend of mine would say I was a hometown king
But I‘m as late as I can be
I‘m gonna shut it down a little earlier today

Life is short and maybe i should take more care
Maybe the time is right to try something different
Maybe I was always too late or somehow just not in time
I took my white horses and thorns upon my head

What would I‘ve said if I knew I‘m gone?
Say, what did I really do that wasn‘t for my own?

One day, I‘ll ask you where I‘ve been
Maybe a friend of mine would say I was a hometown king
One day I‘ll ask you where I‘ve been
And a friend of mine would say I was a hometown winner

I‘m as late as I can be
I‘m gonna shut it down a little earlier today
