100 Years Too Late Lyrics - Singles - David Lee Murphy

(David Lee Murphy/Dobie Gray) 

When the sun is dawnin' and he's just gettin' up 

Starin' out over the mornin' through the steam off his coffee cup 

He thinks about a woman whose love he still holds dear 

A sweetheart he kept hangin' on for way too many years 

It could've been so different with a family and a wife 

But he was crossed between his feelings and that Oklahoma sky 

Another time and in another place 

He might have rode with Jesse James 

And though he rides he can't out run his fate 

'Cause he was born 100 years too late

It's hard to imagine another world out there 

As he alys beside a campfire up in only God knows where 

But he feels the day approachin' when the kind of life he's known 

Will only be in stories and sung about in songs 

Another time and in another place 

He might have rode with Jesse James 

And though he rides he can't out run his fate 

'Cause he was born 100 years too late 

And he wouldn't trade one sleepless night beneath the pourin' rain 

If he had it all to do over again he wouldn't change a thing
