The Things You Didn't Do

Saltyjohn

This is another version of my song, also known as “It’s Later Than You Think”, a Jimmy Buffett style country rendition.

On a restroom wall in Baltimore
Above a broken sink
Someone scratched this message:
It’s later than you think

I took this simple line to heart
I knew that it was true
I built myself a little boat
And sailed the ocean blue

You are the captain of your fate, your only master’s you
Don’t ever let yourself regret the things you didn’t do
You are the captain of your fate, your only master’s you
Don’t ever let yourself regret the things you didn’t do

Go and see the Northern Lights
Or visit Timbuktu
But better do it now, my friend,
Time catches up with you.

On a restroom wall in Baltimore
Above a broken sink
Someone scratched this message:
It’s later than you think

You are the captain of your fate, your only master’s you
Don’t ever let yourself regret the things you didn’t do
You are the captain of your fate, your only master’s you
Don’t ever let yourself regret the things you didn’t do

Guitar solo

You are the captain of your fate, your only master’s you
Don’t ever let yourself regret the things you didn’t do
You are the captain of your fate, your only master’s you
Don’t ever let yourself regret the things you didn’t do
