Born Too Late

Alan Jackson

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] I stare out the window at this long interstate Backed up in traffic I just sit here and wait And dream of wide-open spaces no fences or gates But this is the 90’s     guess I was just born too late [Verse 2] The smog from the city it sure burns my eyes Sometimes I wonder   just how we’ll survive We keep runnin’ faster but are we losing the race Well I guess I’m old fashioned       just born too late [Chorus] Just born too late For these modern days I should have lived   Before microwaves I’m like an endangered species Just captured by fate            But I have no choice     I was just born too late [Interlude] [Verse 3] This built in computer tells me how far I’ve been Another advancement   of this age we live in But it can’t change a scenery or help me escape The constant reminder      that I was just born too late [Chorus] I was just born too late For these modern days I should have lived Before microwaves I’m like an endangered species Just captured by fate           But I have no choice   I was just born too late           No I have no choice   I was just born too late [Outro] Note : * = Play One Note / Just Play The Bass Note

La chanson évoque le sentiment d'être décalé par rapport à son époque. Le protagoniste ressent un profond désir de simplicité et de vastes horizons, en opposition à la frénésie et à la pollution de la vie moderne. Dans un monde de technologie omniprésente et de progrès constants, il se sent comme une espèce en voie de disparition, réalisant qu'il aurait préféré vivre à une époque plus simple, loin des éléments modernes qu'il peine à apprécier. Ce malaise face à son environnement souligne un nostalgique désir d'un passé révolu.
