Last Call

from Brand New Bag by Kelly Pardekooper

lyrics

What went wrong with your Rock-n-Roll? Did it wear you down? Take a toll?
The neon girls and the alcohol. Out all night… your last call.

Yeah she’s the prettiest girl in town, but she always runs you down, late at night when you’re not around.
And she’s got the tattooed ankle, she’s got the tattooed ass, she’s always laughing, Lord I think she’s on the grass.

But what went wrong with your Rock-n-Roll? Did she take your heart? Did you lose control?
‘Cause I remember those nights, with you under the lights, you tore our hearts out and you laughed with delight.
With your sweat running down, cigarette butts on the ground, you were magic when you moved to the sound.

Now you just hide yourself away, with nothing new to say, you leave us hanging with these whiskey clichés.
And that’s the worst way to be, everyday it’s all we see, while we’re swimming ‘round in mediocrity.
But I remember those nights, with you under the lights, yeah you were smiling you can’t deny you had it right.
Crazy dancing all around, the chaos coming down, yeah you were magic when we moved to the sound.
So what went wrong with your Rock-n-Roll? Did it tear you down? Take a toll?
