A jukebox introduced us when the 60`s were still young
�If You Got the Money Honey` got my nickels one by one
I tried to imitate that song
It`s not right but Lefty`s gone
Now �Always Late` breaks my heart
And every song he sang I played the part
I heard he was sad and lived alone
It`s not right but Lefty`s gone
He played the fair in Dallas one year, in the cold October rain
Most folks stayed home and warm, but he sang just the same
I caught a chill before I got home
It`s not right but lefty`s gone
Now �Always Late` breaks my heart
And every song he sang I played the part
I heard he was sad and lived alone
It`s not right but Lefty`s gone
It don`t seem like he was around that long,
It`s not right but lefty`s gone.
