She was an actress and a dancer
a perfect build and careful lines
i worked the scene to my advantage
blackmailed her into being mine

and late in life i left the family
too old to be considered brave
to young to make a good decision
so frozen in my tracks i stay

And in my dreams I saw the future
as clear as master locks and chains
that tied the locals to the podiums a
as they would scream we know you’ve changed

and late in life i left the family
too old to be considered brave
to young to make a good decision
so frozen in my tracks i stay

just as soon like I met her
and i knew that it was over
she was running out the backdoor
and I was running out the side
and you know i gotta wonder
lord if ever i would see her
ahh maybe when were older
or maybe when we die

and late in life i left the family
too old to be considered brave
to young to make a good decision
so frozen in my tracks i stay
