lyrics

LAST CALL

Well last call for all you sinners
I thought I heard the bartender say
And I took it kinda hard
Though I’m sure he didn’t mean it that way
The next thing that my mind knows
I’m sitting right there in those stiff wooden pews right on the front row
Preacher’s gotta Bible in one hand and a fist in the other
And he’s got one last chance to try and save my soul
But then I’m jerked back to reality with all my fellow sots
And I look around the room
And I have a drunken thought
And I think of how the two situations are alike really a lot
You know, for two things that well really are not

Mamma get off the phone
I’m waiting on Jesus to call
He said he wouldn’t be gone long
But it’s been over ten years now
I think it’s time he finally called me home

So there I was there in my quandary
Finally having to come to terms with all my dirty laundry
Now I’m no worse than any other man here
Just by far probably the thirstiest
Thirsty for sin, but yearning for knowledge
Thirsty for gin man, and learning what I’d forgotten
You know I ain’t looked in a mirror man in over ten years
At least not looked in one honest

Chorus

Now I’ve made up my mind, it’s time for this to end
Tired of this lifestyle tired of all this sin
Tired a going to bed man and just not knowing
If I’ll ever wake up again
Now I don’t know what’s got me on the ball
Ready to get down on all fours and start to crawl
Maybe it’s intuition, maybe it’s gall
Could be intervention, Hell the writing’s all over the wall
Don’t remember how I got down here, don’t care, don’t recall
But it don’t matter man, once you’re gone

Chorus
