Title: “The Last Time Was the Last Time” (Mid-tempo, steel-guitar weepy waltz, 3/4 time) Verse 1 I still taste that summer on a grape Popsicle stick Runnin’ barefoot through the tall grass, didn’t cost a nickel to feel rich Fireflies were streetlights, screen door never locked We were kings and queens of nothin’, never watched the clock Pre-Chorus Then one day the music stopped, nobody told me why I kept hummin’ that old song long after it died Chorus There was a last time I felt weightless, a last time the world was kind A last laugh that rang forever, a last look that eased my mind I’ve been chasin’ ghosts down backroads, tryin’ to make ’em real again But the last time was the last time, and the last time’s gone, my friend Verse 2 Folks I love got older, some moved on, some just moved away The drive-in closed for good, they paved over where we played I stand in the same river, but it ain’t the same water no more Every face I used to know don’t fit these faces at the door Chorus Yeah, there was a last time I felt weightless, a last time the world was kind A last kiss that tasted like forever, burnin’ in the back of my mind I can’t rebuild what the years broke, Lord knows I’ve tried The last time was the last time, and the last time waved goodbye Bridge So I quit fightin’ the rear-view, let the dust settle where it may Started lookin’ for brand-new wonders in the light of brand-new days Some old friends won’t come with me, they’re still livin’ in ’99 But the kids laughin’ on the front porch don’t know they’re savin’ my life Final Chorus (half-step up) There’s a first time comin’ tomorrow, a first spark I ain’t felt yet A first song that heals the hollow where the old ones still sit I’ll carry what the past taught me, but I won’t live chained to then ’Cause the last time was the last time… Thank God the next time ain’t the end Tag Yeah, thank God the next time ain’t the end. Play it slow, let the steel cry a little on the turnaround, and you’ve got yourself a real country heartbreaker that still walks out hopeful. That’s the trick: hurt like hell, but leave ’em with a little light on the dashboard.
Lyrics
I still taste that summer on a grape Popsicle stick
Runnin’ barefoot through the tall grass, didn’t cost a nickel to feel rich
Fireflies were streetlights, screen door never locked
We were kings and queens of nothin’, never watched the clock
Then one day the music stopped, nobody told me why
I kept hummin’ that old song long after it died
There was a last time I felt weightless, a last time the world was kind
A last laugh that rang forever, a last look that eased my mind
I’ve been chasin’ ghosts down backroads, tryin’ to make ’em real again
But the last time was the last time, and the last time’s gone, my friend
Folks I love got older, some moved on, some just moved away
The drive-in closed for good, they paved over where we played
I stand in the same river, but it ain’t the same water no more
Every face I used to know don’t fit these faces at the door
Then one day the music stopped, nobody told me why
I kept hummin’ that old song long after it died
Yeah, there was a last time I felt weightless, a last time the world was kind
A last kiss that tasted like forever, burnin’ in the back of my mind
I can’t rebuild what the years broke, Lord knows I’ve tried
The last time was the last time, and the last time waved goodbye
So I quit fightin’ the rear-view, let the dust settle where it may
Started lookin’ for brand-new wonders in the light of brand-new days
Some old friends won’t come with me, they’re still livin’ in ’99
But the kids laughin’ on the front porch don’t know they’re savin’ my life
There’s a first time comin’ tomorrow, a first spark I ain’t felt yet
A first song that heals the hollow where the old ones still sit
I’ll carry what the past taught me, but I won’t live chained to then
’Cause the last time was the last time…
Thank God the next time ain’t the end
Yeah, thank God the next time ain’t the end.
