Shoulda Waited
(SCHAFER)

Well it aint my place to criticize your choice of recreation
You must get some rush from tempting fate
But when it turned from just a wast of time into an act of desparation
You should've cashed 'em in and walked, but now it's too late

I never wanted to see this happen to you, but I suppose I always knew it would
And I wish I could help out, but there aint nothing I can do
'Cause dey said dey's gonna getcha, and dey gonna getcha
Getcha good

(chorus)
Well come this time tomorrow, you'll have to beg, steal or borrow
Just to get your face fed
Just to keep yourself free
'Cause you were always the fast one, but you were always the last one
You shoulda not lost your head, no
You shoulda waited for me

You'd better high-tail it outta here, that's your only real solution
Stick around and you'll be tying your own noose
And if you think with just a shrug and smile that you can win some absolution
You'd just be fanning the flames that cooked your goose

So let me wish you some good luck just once before you go
I hope that you find peace on distant shores
I never wanted to say this, but I could've told you so
And I aint to keen on my shoes, but I'm glad I aint wearing yours

(chorus)
