Chorus

He?s Late, He?s late
He?s never on time
He?s always late
Hey buddy your late

1st Verse

When the Lord passed out speed
There ain?t no doubt
I was late getting there
And it was all passed out
The faster I go the longer it seems to take
Why the world would speed up just so I?d be late

Chorus

He?s Late, he?s late
He?s always late

2nd Verse

I planted some popcorn and guess what?
Before I picked it, it was done popped
I had to leave the farm I was so slow
And I ain?t done no better since I?ve been on the road

Chorus

He?s late, he?s late
He?s always late

3rd Verse

Why a sore?s done healed before I use salve
I?m even late in getting a laugh
The cock?s done crowed before I go to bed
Sometimes I?m so late I think I?m ahead



Chorus

He?s late, he?s late,
He?s always late

4th Verse

I was due in Alaska six months ago
By the time I get there it won?t even be cold
I?d be late to my own funeral procession
By the time I started dying
They?d done be a burying

Chorus
He?s late, he?s late
He?s always late

5th Verse

If I get the call up to St. Peter?s gate
Eternity a be over well I?ll be so late
I guess it?d be bad news if I wasn?t late
And that reminds me folks I?m late

Chorus

He?s late, he?s late
He?s never on time
He?s always late
Hey buddy you?re late
