With another day, another life slips away

And floats above the crowd

You can only stay ahead of time

When time co-operates instead of heading south.

Cards are dealt, you play what you hold

You can't tell me the story's been told

It's too early to be over

And it's way past when

It could be starting again

It's too early to be over

Good hearted Joe is the last one to know

Run down, run around biting my tongue

Hardly my sad tale

But the rolling in and steppin' out

Nothing but fun, I finally had to bail

Nothing worse than trying too hard

This ain't this fool's first walk in the park

It's too early to be over

I don't feel a thing from the bone to the skin

It's too early to be over

Good hearted Joe is the last one to know

Somewhere out there it all evens out

So they would have you believe

But that don't get me

That won't set me free

It's too early to be over

And it's way past when it could be starting over

It's too early to be over

Always the fave but I already gave

It's too early to be over

Don't feel a thing from the bone to the skin

It's too early to be over

Good hearted Joe is the last one to know
