Last Thing That I See

(back) (listen / download)

I’m not much to pray Monday to Saturday
And most Sundays, I just tend to rest
But here’s one I need to send up to my only friend
It might as well be my last request

Oh God please take me now I don’t suppose it matters how
Just make it quick, I’ll count to three
And God bless this crazy girl with the prettiest eyes in the whole wide world
Let her be the last thing that I see

Twice now the morning sun has sparked my heart to gun
Down every back road in my brain
But this time I held her hand so I’ve got to take a stand
Before my luck goes down the drain

Sometimes I wonder why some people never cry
Seems like my generation’s way
We fall in love too fast, can’t make these feelings last
Tomorrow will soon be yesterday

I will not shed a tear in my domestic beer
If she don’t call me back tonight
‘Cuz I know I’m on her mind and she knows she’s on mine
But one last thing before first light
