LAST CUP ON THE TABLE

[Verse 1] The ribs were gone by midnight The pie didn't stand a chance Somebody took the speaker home Somebody found romance The fire was down to embers The moon was hanging low That's when the real stories started After most folks chose to go [Chorus] Last cup on the table Last song in the air Last few souls still laughing Like tomorrow wasn't there We came for the barbecue We stayed for something true Funny how the best nights Always leave a few (Last cup on the table) [Verse 2] Swamp Deluxe was snoring In a chair he'd never claim Batshit swore he'd leave at ten He's still here just the same A cracked old guitar kept ringing By a porch light going gold And every laugh got softer As the night let go [Chorus] Last cup on the table Last song in the air Last few souls still laughing Like tomorrow wasn't there We came for the barbecue We stayed for something true Funny how the best nights Always leave a few (Last cup on the table) [Bridge] No one talked about forever Just the ash and the breeze A hand on your shoulder A tune through the trees The gate stayed open The road could wait One more round, one more story One more minute late [Chorus] Last cup on the table Last song in the air Last few souls still laughing Like tomorrow wasn't there We came for the barbecue We stayed for something true Funny how the best nights Always leave a few (Last cup on the table)
