Handwritten lyrics
Lights come up at the Legion Hall
Pool cues go back up on the wall
You pack your guitar and disappear / one last beer
with just the ringing in your ears
A waitress cleans up the bar
You pack your amp into the car
A few last chance lovers slip into
the nite [sic]
??? the Trotters diner for a bite
You wake in the morning and ???
Hard to believe somehow
Your [sic] the last man standing now
Snakeskin vest sharkskin suit
Cuban heels and black boots
???
You kick in the band side by side
You take the crowd on their
Mystery ride ???
Bridge
