Too Late Too Loud

Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer Back when I was younger Just a blue-eyed restless kid Hangin' round the radio In fact that was all I did Mama said you better son Take good care of school Wasn't one they counted on I was crazy like a dog on the loose At the age of fifteen Just another sixties' breed No one really understood What music meant to me Boy you get your education Daddy said to me Thought I'd end up as the black sheep Of the family Wild as the river I freaked down the floor Feeding the fever As he kicked in the door and said Too late too late too loud I can't take it Too late too late too loud Just turn it down And then I rocked him to the ground Yes I did Nineteen years and travelling Got a suitcase in my hand No money in the bank You see but I don't complain Me and the boys are playing hard Running out the line We're out there killing time We're just shaking out some brains Racing the crowd Got that rock'n roll feeling Everyone shouts But nobody's screaming Too late too late too loud I can't take it Too late too late too loud Now just turn it down I can't take it I can't take it Too late too late too loud...
