Joey Alcorn - 50 Years Too Late


E
Well I never met Ernest Tubb
        A
I never shook Roy Acuffs hand
  B7
I never got to hear Hank Williams play
         A                E
With the Drifting Cowboys Band
  E
I never got to hear Webb Pierce sing
   A
On WSM
    B7 
And I don't like it but I guess its fate
      B7                   E
I was born Fifty Years Too Late


I never got to hear Faron Young
I never met Ms. Patsy Cline
I never got to hear Johnny Cash
Sing I Walk The Line
I never got to go to the Opry
On a Saturday at the Ryman
And I don't like it but I guess its fate
I was born Fifty Years Too Late


Steel solo


I never got to laugh at Minnie Pearl
Or hear the Carter Family
I never got to go to a Hank Snow show
Or the Midnight Jamboree
I never got to hear Lefty Frizzell
Sing I Love You A Thousand Ways
And I don't like it but I guess its fate
I was born Fifty Years Too Late

And Ill never get to meet them
Cause they're all dead and gone
But I feel like its my place to
Pick up and carry on
With the kind of country music
That they left behind
And it might turn out that it was fate
I was born Fifty Years Too Late
