Alan Jackson Born Too Late song lyrics

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
