The Last Song I Ever Wrote

[Verse] Some lyrics just come to you in a flash When you're out and about and you don't have a pad Well This is the best damn song I ever wrote But the rope around my neck has got me choked [Verse 2] Now This is a story you ain't heard before Well This time I got caught But it was worth it Lord I went down in a blaze of glory and now I'm hung But my lawyer got a paper and a pen snuck [Chorus] He said "Sing me that song The one you wrote Before you have to hang by the rope Just sing me that song before you go I'll go and tell your family when I get home" [Verse 3] He said "Now Listen Boy I've seen the news And the sheriff said that you can have one last tune But make it count 'cause he said he's got to go So play me that song The one you wrote" [Chorus] And I said "Sing me that song The one you wrote Before you have to hang by the rope Just sing me that song before you go I'll go and tell your family when I get home" [Verse 4] The lyrics are on the tip of my tongue It's a shame that I won't get to see it sung The paper says "This is the last song I ever wrote" 'Cause the rope around my neck has got me choked
