Last Call

by @jonni-inferno

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
