Late For Your Life Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

You've been saying for the longest time that the time has come 

You've been talking like you're of a mind to get some changing done 

Maybe move out of the city, find some quiet little town 

Where you can sit out on your back porch step 

And watch the sun go down 

No one knows where they belong 

The search just goes on and on and on 

For every choice that ends up wrong 

Another one's right 

A change of scene would sure be great 

The thought is nice to contemplate 

But the question begs why would you wait 

And be late for your life 

Now you might never find that perfect town 

But the sun still sets on a rooftop where the city 

Sounds like a Gershwin clarinet 

And you might still be searching every face for one you can't forget 

Love is out there in a stranger's clothes 

You just haven't met him yet 

No one knows where they belong 

The search just goes on and on and on 

For every day that ends up wrong 

Another one's right 

Call it chance or call it fate 

Either one is cause to celebrate 

Still the question begs why would you wait 

And be late for your life 

Call it chance baby, call it fate 

Either one is cause to celebrate 

And the question now is why would you wait 

Don't be late for your life
