1. Why do people put things off ... until it's too late?
Why do people do that ... instead'a gettin' it straight?
Ain't it always the way ... we put off things 'til it's too late
Yeah, it's the way ... we put off things 'til it's too late!

2. When I was a kid, there was an intersection ... at the bottom of the hill
They wouldn't put a street light there ... until a couple'a kids got killed
Ain't it always the way ... we put off things 'til it's too late
Yeah, I know, it's kind'a sad ... but, we put of things 'til it's too late

3. Now, Slim wanted to tell his Father that he really loved him a lot
When he finally got the nerve up ... his Daddy was 6 feet down in a plot.
Ain't it always just that way ... we put off things 'til it's too late
Yeah, it's the way ... we put off things 'til it's too late!

4. I was in love with this lady, but I never told her too much
Then, someone else did ... 'n stole her way ... then, I couldn't tell her enough.
Yeah, ain't it always the way ... we put off things 'til it's too late.
Yeah, there ain't no exceptions to the rule, buddy ... we put off things 'til it's too late

5. Yeah, why do we put off things ... 'til it's too late?
Why do we do that ... instead'a gettin' it straight?
Ain't it always the way? We put off things 'til it's too late (Now, I'm gonna ask ya one more time)
Ain't it always just that way? We put off things 'til it's too late!
