G                                                 G7
Now Lefty came from Texas at least that what they say

   C
He cut a record down in Dallas it really got him on his way
 
          D7
You could hear him on every jukebox

                                               G
In every town and state every DJ played Always Late



                                             G7
Now Lefty wasn't no saint he didn't claim to be

   C
He could sing a country song send cold chills through me

         D7
Like the son of a Saginaw fisherman
G
He sang in Saginaw Michigan



   C
If you got the money honey I've got the time

        G
When he sang that song well he nearly blew my mind

                          D7           G        C
I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy

       G              D7              G
And it tears me up to see a grown man cry



                                        G7
Lefty left us lonely he left before his time

      C
But I can see 'im singin' now to an angel at that Opry in the sky

            D7
I'm just an old old man a-lookin' for fun

                             G
Why oh why do you do me this way



   C
If you got the money honey I've got the time

        G
When he sang that song well he nearly blew my mind

                          D7           G        C
I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy

   G             D7                    G
Oh why oh why oh why do you do me this way



                      D7                    G
Yeah Oh why oh why oh why do you do me this way

D7     G
Always Late
