about

I wrote Too Late with my friend, Silicone Boone. We both love a good blue-collar song and wanted to impart that kind of feeling into Too Late, a song about a boy begging his mother to leave her string of abusive lovers.

lyrics

Mama your tinted bangs
Mama your painted eyes
Got me wishing we were miles from here tonight
He’s driving us through this one bar town in your eighty-five
Mama second chances never come a second time

Hear you scream above the radio
But I don’t even glance
You’re doubled over on the floor boards
Empty cans and cigarette ash

We got to run away get away break away mama before it’s too late it’s too late
Running blind you and I gotta find
Something before it’s too late it’s too late

On the dashboard there he sees your old photograph says baby these days
you’re a little worse for wear
Mama guess he’s just your type another macho man
To cradle you while you’re coming up for air

This rock-me-baby mister another stranger you call your friend
There’s no time for games now it’s me or them

We got to run away get away break away mama before it’s too late it’s too late
Running blind you and I gotta find
Something before it’s too late it’s too late
Run away get away break away mama before it’s too late it’s too late

I’ll pack all our bags tonight
Wake you for the morning light

We got to run away get away break away mama before it’s too late it’s too late
Running blind you and I gotta find
Something before it’s too late it’s too late
Run away get away break away mama before it’s too late it’s too late

Mama your tinted bangs your painted eyes
Got me wishing we were miles from here tonight
