Recall Last Call
There was a sign on the wall that warned me
You’d be picking ‘em up way before two.
I should have been drinkin’ but instead I was thinkin’
As if I had nothing better to do.
I paid the jukebox to play all my favorites
But it played all her favorites instead.
I’ll make it worth your trouble if you make that a double
And ain’t that clock set ten minutes ahead.
And the lights come on like a sunrise
And the sane folks have long gone to bed.
Recall last call…because I can’t recall last call
I should have remembered but I guess I forgot
That I came to forget about it all
I’ll put money in your till and write you into my will
I know you’ve heard it all
Recall last call.
The cleaning crew is outside the doorway
And the waitress is tapping her feet.
She’s rolling her eyes as I’m telling my lies
And if I stand up she’s gonna take my seat.
I need to make this town one beer smaller
I need to make those memories fade.
I know all things must pass but don’t take my glass
And I’ll deal with the cards that I played.
I promise I won’t tell you my story
If you promise you won’t tell me yours.
Recall last call…because I can’t recall last call
I should have remembered but I guess I forgot
That I came to forget about it all
I’ll put money in your till and write you into my will
I know you’ve heard it all
Recall last call.
