Ben Colder - Little Bit Late lyrics

When they repossed my car I said I'll get it back again I'll fight them finance people to the end Here's my deliquent payment and I'll give you some to boot Now give me back my car and take my loot They said I think you're just a little bit late We can't mess around while you procrastinate We accutioned off your car you know that's the way we are Sorry you're a little too late Then I had to catch the bus to get to work on time I missed the one at eight and barely caught the one at nine I finally got to work about a quarter after ten I went to tell the foreman where I'd been He said I think you're just a little bit late And Ben that's the kind of thing I hate I don't wanna make you sore but we can't use you anymore Sorry you're a little too late Then my wife packed up and left me I said you can't do that to me I guess I'll have to show her what a lover I can be So I bought a dozen roses and I said baby please come home Big ole Ben can't stand to be alone She said I think you're just a little bit late You see I went and got myself another mate He's handsomer than you he's got a car he's sober too Sorry you're a little too late Well after the divorce I ended up without a dime You can see I was forced to lead a life of sin and crime I gambled and I plundered and I smoked and cursed and drank Even tried to rob the local bank They said I think you're just a little bit late You see there's nothing in our vault for you to take You're the second crook today the other one got away Sorry you're a little too late Well the time I spent in jail has made me see that I was wrong And I've decided to repent and take it easy from now on But when I die and climb those golden stairs on Judgement Day The man will probably look at me and say I think you're just a little bit late We're all full up right now you'll have to wait Why don't you go on down below if somethin' breaks we'll let you know Sorry you're a little too late
