A Little Late to Be in a Hurry by Bubba Patrick

[Intro: SOLO six-string acoustic A7 boogie run, jaunty harmonica hoot]
[Spoken intro]
Well, I had a schedule once.
Can't remember where I put it.
Here we go!

[Verse 1]
I put my keys beside my coffee,
Put my coffee by the door,
Walked outside to find my glasses
On my head like the day before.
I told myself I'd make good time,
The clock said, 'Bless your heart.'
I was running late to nowhere
Before I even got the start.

[Chorus]
I'm a little late to be in a hurry,
A little too early to worry.
If the road is gonna wind,
I'll just let it take its time.
I can turn a wrong turn right
With a song and a little sunlight.
Ain't no need to raise a flurry,
I'm a little late to be in a hurry.

[Harmonica solo: quick funny A7-D7-E7 call-and-response with single Martin acoustic]

[Verse 2]
The grocery list said bread and eggs;
I came back home with string.
I stopped to help a neighbor
Find a lost old wedding ring.
We found it in the garden,
We laughed till nearly three,
And I forgot the bread and eggs,
But she sure remembered me.

[Verse 3]
Some folks chase the minute hand
Like it owes 'em twenty bucks;
I'm watching clouds and thinking,
'Man, what happened to those trucks?'
Maybe life ain't keeping score
Of every second that we spend;
Some of the best things find us
When we're running late again.

[Bridge: half-time on Martin acoustic with short harmonica replies]
If it matters, I'll be there,
If it don't, I'll let it go;
I won't lose the whole wide afternoon
To a hurry I don't know.

[Final chorus: bright guitar boogie and harmonica fills]
I'm a little late to be in a hurry,
A little too early to worry.
If the road is gonna wind,
I'll just let it take its time.
Some good things can't be measured
By a clock that's set to scurry;
So I'll tip my hat to the morning,
A little late to be in a hurry.

[Spoken outro — Martin guitar turnaround, harmonica laughing]
Go on and take your time, now.
Life ain't running off without you.
[Last E7-A7 acoustic guitar lick, dry ending]
