Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pulled in by the feed store sign
Dust on my truck, dust on my mind
Saw you at the diner by the door
Same green eyes I knew before
You wore a ring and I wore doubt
Funny how the truth comes out
I almost asked for one more chance
But your hand was already on his hand
[Pre-Chorus]
And the summer rain hit hard
On that cracked black parking lot
I stood there with my old guitar
And a heart I’d missed my shot
[Chorus]
I found you a little too late
A little too late to stay
My name still hangs in your gate
But I can’t make time behave
Oh, I found you a little too late
Too late, too late, too late
You were the love I prayed for
I just came knocking late
[Verse 2]
Mama said son, it happens slow
Some hearts bloom after they go
I kept your picture in a drawer
Like a seed I wouldn’t pour
Now I see you in a porch light glow
Laughing soft with someone I know
He’s got your Sunday morning smile
And I’ve got this county mile
[Pre-Chorus]
And the summer rain hit hard
On that cracked black parking lot
I stood there with my old guitar
And a heart I’d missed my shot
[Chorus]
I found you a little too late
A little too late to stay
My name still hangs in your gate
But I can’t make time behave
Oh, I found you a little too late
Too late, too late, too late
You were the love I prayed for
I just came knocking late
[Bridge]
If I could turn one road around
I’d meet you on more honest ground
Before the ring, before the vows
Before the yes that’s with you now
But that’s a wish, and I know why
Some trains don’t wait, some flames go by
So I’ll tip my hat, take this ache
And love you in the past tense shape
[Chorus]
I found you a little too late
A little too late to stay
My name still hangs in your gate
But I can’t make time behave
Oh, I found you a little too late
Too late, too late, too late
You were the love I prayed for
I just came knocking late
[Outro]
Too late, too late
I was right on time
For a heart that wasn’t mine

Style
Country ballad with a slow two-step sway, twanging acoustic and pedal steel, brushed drums in the verses and a fuller backbeat on the chorus; verse feels close and tired, pre-chorus climbs with picked guitar fills, chorus opens wide with harmony hooks and a steel cry on the last word. Male vocals, dry and intimate in verses, doubled on the hook, with delay throws, handclaps, and a faint porch-chime transition. Warm, dusty, and radio-ready., romantic, country
