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 So 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 'Cause I won't be home no more I stood around a month or two And waited for your call Now I'm too busy pitchin' woo So come around next fall I scratched your name right off my slate And 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 And drive 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 And call around next May or June 'Cause I won't be home no more I used to be the patient kind Believed each alibi But that's all done, I've changed my mind I've got new fish to fry Well, 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
