Chronic Late Arriver Songtext
von Tutu Jones

Listen!
I′m just a chronic late arriver
I never seem to be home on time
I'm just a chronic late arriver
I never seem to be home on time

Even though this time is different
It seems the same to you every time
I started drinking early in the morning
Continued through the afternoon
I started drinking early this morning
Continued through the afternoon, yeah
I′ll call you early in the evening
I promise you, I'll be coming home soon


I promised you I'd quit gambling, baby
But the dice feels too nice to touch
I promised you I′d quit gambling, baby
But the dice feels so nice to touch
I′ve also had four aces
But old folks weren't good enough
Oh!

The lipstick on my collar
Came with this black eye
The lipstick on my collar, baby
Came with this black eye
The girl who claims she knew me
Was the wife of some jealous guy

I′m just a chronic late arriver
Please, don't get mad at me again
I′m just a chronic late arriver
Please, don't get mad at me again

I′m just a chronic late arriver
A disease that fetches on me
I'm just a chronic late arriver
I promise you, it won't happen again

I′m just a chronic late arriver
Please, please, forgive me
′Cause I know, huh, oh, baby
Deep down in my heart, I love you


We need to try to get together, uh
At least, sit down and talk about it
'Cause I love you, baby, oh yes, I do
Would you forgive me, oh baby?
