John Hiatt - The Last Time Lyrics

Artist: John Hiatt

Album: Beneath This Gruff Exterior

Genre: Country

  • Songwriters: John Hiatt

Time is runnin' out
Friends are too
Word is getting out
It's all bad news

Scoundrels know my whereabouts
They recognize these pointy shoes
That's the last time
I turn my back on you

A friendly little game of cards
Aces wild
Your little life was just so hard
You had to act like a child

I recognize the queen of hearts
When she's sittin' in plain view
And that's the last time
I turn my back on you

Well, that's the last time
I turn my back on you
I kept waiting for a sign
That we could push it through

There's a first time for everything
And it was long overdue
So that's the last time
I turn my back on you

And I spent a lot of money
I spent a lot of time
Just to hear you call me honey
Sends little shivers up my spine

But after while it isn't funny
This twenty paces thing we do
So that's the last time
I turn my back on you

That's the last time
I turn my back on you
