100 years too late (album version)

(David Lee Murphy/Dobie Gray)
When the sun is dawnin and hes just gettin up
Starin out over the mornin through the steam off his coffee cup
He thinks about a woman whose love he still holds dear
A sweetheart he kept hangin on for way too many years
It couldve been so different with a family and a wife
But he was crossed between his feelings and that
Oklahoma sky
Another time and in another place
He might have rode with
Jesse James
And though he rides he cant out run his fate
Cause he was born 100 years too late
Its hard to imagine another world out there
As he alys beside a campfire up in only
God knows where
But he feels the day approachin when the kind of life hes known
Will only be in stories and sung about in songs
Another time and in another place
He might have rode with
Jesse James
And though he rides he cant out run his fate
Cause he was born 100 years too late
And he wouldnt trade one sleepless night beneath the pourin rain
If he had it all to do over again he wouldnt change a thing
Another time and in another place
He might have rode with
Jesse James
And though he rides he cant out run his fate
Cause he was born 100 years too late
