No Reason Being Late Songtext

von Jason Boland & The Stragglers

I can't even try to care*
About what makes you stop and stare
It's all the cause of my pain
Locked in a bathroom stall
Face to bowl and fist to wall
As I circle down the drain

Well they say that
One more dance with the devil
Will surely seal my fate
I don't know where I'm going
I see no reason in being late

These mirror talks are getting old
A ray of light was a bullethole
And I'm jealous of a kiss
I watch my idle hands
Rock steady in the sinking sand
Did I really sober up for this

Well they say that
One more dance with the devil
Will surely seal my fate
I don't know where I'm going
I see no reason in being late

I dreamed of Heaven's gate
They said I had to wait
And wondered
Where the hell I've been
And I've travelled rocky roads
Haven't seen no streets of gold
And I'm headed south again

Well they say that
One more dance with the devil
Will surely seal my fate
I don't know where I'm going
I see no reason in being late
Well I don't know where I'm going
I see no reason in being late
