Last Chance Blues

One day the world is sittin' in your sweet young hand

Then all at once you turn around

And there you stand

A face you barely recognize

The little lines around the eye

Talkin' 'bout the last chance blues

Legs are gettin' slower

But I got nowhere to go

Money gettin' lower

And people sayin' no

Broken dreams and wasted bets

Now and then, a few regrets

Talk about your last chance blues

Ain't it fun?

Ain't it great?

Dressed to the nines

And ten years out of date

New York Times

Says I'm yesterday's news

I got the last chance blues

What if I whispered low

Sweet man, I need you so

Just once

Kept my finger off the fuse

But I had to fight

Prove I was right

And that's the thing about the last chance blues

What if I never lied?

What if just once, I tried to say

How I really feel

Instead of pushin' her away?

If I'd known what I had to lose

I wouldn't be singin' these last chance blues

If I saw her standing there (If I saw him standing there, mean as hell, I wouldn't care)

Looking hotter than hell (I would tell him hey)

I wouldn't care (You gotta listen to me)

I'd say, baby (Shout loud, he would hear, well don't you know I'll always love you)

I love you (Damn it, don't refuse)

Don't make sing the last chance blues

Now that I know

What I could lose

I don't wanna sing

The last chance blues
