Last In A Long Lonesome Line

(album: On Your Way Home - 2003)

If I appear to be holding on tight,
You'd be right, I've been holding on for dear life.
The way that it's all been going, there's talk I just might,
Be the last of, the last in a long lonesome line.

I made mistakes I won't try to defend.
God knows what I've been through to get where I am .
They say the blood in my body is ageing like wine.
I'm the last of, the last in a long lonesome line.

For better or worse,
I have lived life so fast.
I wasn't the first,
Hate to think I'm the last,
Of the last in a long lonesome line.

[Instrumental break]

Tears an' whiskey, yeah, I spilled my share.
But it's the music that's kept me going through all of these years.
An' there's some songs still need singing before closing time,
From the last of, the last in a long lonesome line.

For better or worse,
I have lived life so fast.
I wasn't the first,
Hate to think I'm the last,
Of the last in a long lonesome line.
Oh, I'm the last of, the last in a long lonesome line.
