I stare out the window at this long interstate Backed up in traffic, I just sit here and wait And dream of wide-open spaces, no fences or gates But this is the 90's, guess I was just born too late The smog from the city, it sure burns my eyes Sometimes I wonder just how we'll survive We keep runnin' faster but are we losing the race Well I guess I'm old fashioned, just born too late Just born too late For these modern days I should have lived Before microwaves I'm like an endangered species Just captured by fate But I have no choice I was just born too late This built in computer tells me how far I've been Another advancement of this age we live in But it can't change a scenery or help me escape The constant reminder that I was just born too late I was just born too late For these modern days I should have lived Before microwaves I'm like an endangered species Just captured by fate But I have no choice I was just born too late No I have no choice, I was just born too late
