Introduction

lyrics

Come on baby, it's my last night in town.
Thinkin' where to go as I make my rounds
but I can't find the perfect place to begin,
so I'll just start from where I said it would end.
Let's go to the place where dreams run aground--
That's how I'll spend my last night in town.

I see the boys, they're all on their way
to get some hard stone liquor 'cause they're still underage.
They smile and wave, and they ask where I'll go,
yeah they might understand, but they won't ever know
cause the older you get the less you go 'round
and you might not have a last night in town.

So take me there, I wanna know
just how far we've got to go.
Take me there, I wanna see
the strongest ropes that are holdin' me.

I take a trip to the east parking lot
where a hotrod macho-man asks me what I've got.
Before I reply his rubber burns on the ground
and my heart is lost to that screeching sound.
There are some holes that can swallow you down
but I don't have much time on my last night in town.

I get a call from a girl I used to see, she says
"Meet me at the bridge, it won't cost a thing.
We don't have no music but we can still dance--
you need one night of a strange romance.
And I know you'll be lost with all the things you've found
but that's how it goes on you last night in town.

She said "Take me there, I wanna know
just how far we've got to go.
Take me there, I wanna see
the strongest ropes that are holding me."

Come on baby, it's my last night in town.
Thinkin' where to go as I make my rounds
but I can't find the perfect place to begin,
so I'll just start from where I said it would end.
