I should have gone to Laurel Canyon
1971
Could have sung some songs to Joni
Hung out in the sun
Born too late
I was born too late for that
Art said "Go to Nashville"
When we toured in '94
She's the edge of that new country, boy
Just walk right through the door
Born too late
I was born too late for that, yes I was
How long does it take for a man to know himself?
How long does it take for a man to know himself?
And you can lie just like the Kremlin
In an Americana band
Plant your flag in the sand and desert
And watch the armies land
Born too late
I was born too late for that, yes I was
And the priests they bless the liar
And the liar has his way
I never thought I'd wake up now
And see that in my day
Thought I was born too late
Thought I was born too late for that, yes I was
How long does it take for a man to know himself?
How long does it take for a man to know himself?
And you can live on borrowed memory
Replay a thousand scenes
And miss the mighty wisdom
While you're waiting on your dreams
Born too late
I was born too late for that
I can feel the tension rising
Feel that working fire
But I didn't see Josephine Baker
Taken by my granddad's smile
I was born too late
I was born too late for that, yes I was
How long does it take for a man to know himself?
How long does it take for a man to know himself?
Well, how long does it take for a man to know himself?
How long does it take for a man to know himself?
I should have gone to California
In 1971
Hung out with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and
Neil Young
