The Last Song Songtext
von Ben Carrigan

Can you turn it on?
Bootleg the sound
Why can′t your heart conceive of a love gone to ground?
Your words erode towns
That once were a jungle, 'til we cut ourselves down

Can you soldier on?
Clung to this mound
The cavalry you sent for has long since turned round
Their maps upside down

Love pales to something, assurances sewn
I guess we should shoulder the tone

So pick up your smile
Why the long face?
It′s not like I'm leaving
It's not like I′m leaving
I′m staying an hour away
But this is the last song for me
It's not on any jukebox
But I′m gonna play it anyway


Can't you hold your own?
Add strings to your bow
Audition for that part on the 9 to 5 show?
A part of us not breathing

To pack up the circus and head for the road
To the trucks that′ll leave by the load

So pick up your smile
Why the long face?
It's not like I′m leaving
It's not like I'm leaving
I′m staying an hour away
This is the last song for me
It′s not on any jukebox
But I'm gonna play it anyway

I′m feeling better
It's like drinking wine
I guess it gets better with time


So walk down these aisles
At your own pace
This love is still breathing
This love is still breathing
So pick out a style
From your suitcase
Enough for the third day
Enough for the third day
Our train is making way

Coz this is the last song for me
This is the last song for me
This is the last song for me
Now you shall be free
