The Last Song I Will Write lyrics
by Jason Isbell
[Verse 1]
Come run away with me
This ain't the world we signed up for
Echoes across the open sea
Of a place without any range war
[Chorus]
And this is the last song I will write
This is the last time I will fight for you
For you
[Verse 2]
Mama lost her second love
At a time when she really needs it
He could not have been enough
So small and still bumping the ceiling
[Chorus]
And this is the last dream I will have
My lady, my love, my mom and dad
All floating away to Spain
Floating away to Spain
[Verse 3]
You who work up on your feet
Your neck turns red from the sunshine
It's you who's seen my worst defeat
Crawling through crumbling coal mines
[Chorus]
And these are the last words I will sing
'Cause this is the end of everything
I'm crawling away to the sea
Crawling away to the sea
