06 Too Far Gone To See

Recorded for the 2013 NaSoAlMo challenge.

It’s amazing what they’ll tell ya
When they got somethin’ to sell
Their mama shoulda told ‘em
It’s a sin to tell a lie
But it’s too late now
So I guess they can go to hell

Last night I saw the man in the moon
He was way up high lookin’ down at me
I wanted to ask him why
But it’s too late now
He’s too far gone to see

Kiss me once for good luck baby
Kiss me again ‘cause that was nice
I’ve got to hasten down the road
And pay back what was owed
And if I don’t fuck up
I’ll be back home tonight

Last night I saw the man in the moon
He had two left eyes
And both of ‘em were lookin’ at me
I wish I had asked him why
But it’s too late now
He’s too far gone to see

One day soon I’ll go to Colorado
I got a friend out there I haven’t seen in years
Mama always told me “Keep sight of those you love”
But it’s too late now and I’m blinded by my tears

Last night I saw the man in the moon
And he really just didn’t have a word to say
I wish he would have spoken to me
But it’s too late now
And he’s too far gone to see
