Will the Last one be free
You can’t blame me if sometimes - I wonder why you cause me such hurt and misery
Your swinging doors are always locked by midnight
When you toss me out and throw away the key
There is a song on the juke box drives me crazy
And the whiskey hides the sorrows I suppose
Each night the past comes back in time to haunt me
for a broken hearts that’s the way it goes
Will the last one be free if I’m leaving
Drinking memories from a bottle is killing me
The glamor of your nightlife, so imposing
When I go, will the last one be free
I look in the mirror and I - wonder
Are these lines on my face so plain to see
Each line runs a highway to destruction
And the end of the road is calling me
I set here alone at my table
And wonder how her love could grow so cold That neon light flashing in the window
Reminds me of a love that whiskey stole
