Blues contemplating a person's final act in life
3 line blues
Story behind the song
Everyone does a final act in life; this blues song addresses that.
Lyrics
There comes a time when you do that last thing
The time will come when you do that last thing
a last game, a last dance, a last golf-club swing.
No more livin' no more lovin' no more backyard barbeques
Won't be able to no more hold you or wear a pair of shoes
I've got the Last Thing; I’ve got the Never Sing or Love Again Blues.
Beyond that time it=ll be others who see the rain
Oh, you'll be gone and others will see the rain
But they'll move on, too, and they’re gonna feel that final pain.
No more livin' no more lovin' no more backyard barbeques
Won't be able to no more hold you or wear a pair of shoes
I've got the Last Thing, I’ve got the Never Sing or Love Again Blues.
Seldom is the final thing known to be as such
Your final moments are hardly ever seen as such
You plan another game or dance in hope to feel her touch
No more livin' no more lovin' no more backyard barbeques
Won't be able to no more hold you or wear a pair of shoes
Oh, I got the Last Thing, I’ve got the Never Sing or Love Again Blues.
How did you live before that final act?
Will others truly mourn for you after your final act?
Live full and good and show those virtues you lacked.
Live full and good and show those virtues you lacked.
No more livin' no more lovin' no more backyard barbeques
Won't be able to no more hold you or wear a pair of shoes
I've got the Last Thing, I’ve got the Never Sing or Love Again Blues.
I've got the Last Thing, I’ve got the Never Sing or Love Again Blues.
