[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

À propos de la chanson

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.
