Well, you're just in time to be too late
I tried to, but I couldn't wait
And now I've got another date
And I won't be home no more
You're just in time to miss the boat
So don't take off your hat and coat
Be on your way, that's all she wrote
I won't be home no more
I hung around a month or two
and waited for your call
Now I'm too busy pitching wood,
so come around next fall
I scratched your name right off my slate,
hung a sign on my front gate
You're just in time to be too late,
and I won't be home no more
Well, you're just in time to turn around
Head your buggy back to town
You looked me up, I turned you down
And I won't be home no more
You're just in time to change your tune
Go tell your troubles to the moon
Call around next May or June
I won't be home no more
I used to be the patient kind,
believed each alibi
That's all done,
I've changed my mind,
I've got new fish to fry
You're just in time to celebrate,
the things you didn't calculate
You're just in time to be too late,
and I won't be home no more you
