Greencastle Blues

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?
