Last Thing I Needed, First Thing This Morning

(album: From A Room: Volume 1 - 2017)

The postman delivered
A "past due" bill notice
The alarm clock rang two hours late
The garbage man left all the trash
On the sidewalk
And the hinges fell off the gate
And this morning at breakfast
I spilled all the coffee
And I opened a door on my knee

But the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me

Last night you came home late
And I knew you'd been drinking
By that old mellow look on your face
I thought, "It don't matter
Because it's the holiday season"
And you fill such a big empty space
But then I laid down beside you
And I wanted your loving
Because your love makes my life complete

But the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me

So excuse me for looking
Like my world just ended
And excuse me for looking
Like I just lost my best friend
And excuse me for loving
And being forgiven
So just go on if you want to be free

But the last thing I needed
The first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
