Last Call

 
folks  
this is the last song of the evening    
time for one last round    
so pick 'em up and    
slam 'em down...    
 
couples headin'    
to the dance hall floor    
some lonesome doves    
walkin' out the door    
take a look around    
into the lonely fa-ces    
broken hearts    
yearnin' for tender gra-ces    
 
see the hopeful eyes    
lookin' back at you    
you've seen each other    
from across the room    
if you act now    
you wont be turned awa-y    
another day    
might be too la-te    
  
oh i know    
life ain't been kind    
we've got - wounded hearts    
but there's still time    
so - here's a chance    
ya never know    
tho it's    
just a dance    
it could be more
  
so ya    
take her hand    
pull her in real close    
music playin'    
soft and slow    
you close your eyes    
as she softly si-ghs    
  
starlit shadows    
from a disco globe    
we fade to black    
on this winding road    
lost and lonely    
we pay the toll    
just one last dance    
before we go    
just one last da-nce    
before we go    
  
and these bitter days    
we watch them waste away    
into the whiskey nights and    
the smoke filled haze    
we're singin'    
Willie -n- Waylon    
pray the music keeps playin'    
as we drift away    
into this whiskey haze    
shadows of a memory    
keep draggin' ya down    
one last round    
you slam it down    
you close your eyes    
as she soflty si-ghs    
gently swayin'    
across the floor    
  
starlit shadows    
from a disco globe    
we fade to black    
on this winding road    
lost and lonely    
we pay the toll    
just one last dance    
before we go    
just one last da-nce    
before we go
