Last Call Ain’t Callin’ Me Home cover art

Songtexte

[Verse 1]
Neon clock says one-fifty
Bartender wipes down the wood
He’s stackin’ up the empties
Swearin’ he’s done all he could
My boots stuck to this floorboard
Since way before it got late
He flips them house lights brighter
Says, “Son, you ain’t hearin’ the gate”

[Chorus]
Last call ain’t callin’ me home
I ain’t done leanin’ on this throne
Got a half-warm beer
And a full-blown heartbreak
Turn that key, but the truck won’t shake
You can ring that bell, kill that song
I’ll still be singin’ along
Yeah, last call ain’t callin’ me home
It’s just callin’ me out, to drink alone

[Verse 2]
He’s flippin’ chairs on tables
Cardboard sign over the fries
Rag draggin’ slow in circles
Like a clock hand killin’ time
He says, “Boy, find you a taxi
Text whoever waits by the door”
I just stare at her old stool
Where her purse don’t hang anymore

[Chorus]
Last call ain’t callin’ me home
I ain’t done leanin’ on this throne
Got a half-warm beer
And a full-blown heartbreak
Turn that key, but the truck won’t shake
You can ring that bell, kill that song
I’ll still be singin’ along
Yeah, last call ain’t callin’ me home
It’s just callin’ me out, to drink alone

[Bridge]
[Band drops softer, vocal up front]
Flip them lights, lock that door (hey!)
Kick me out to that gravel lot
But when that engine roars
It still can’t outrun what I lost (oh no)

[Chorus]
Last call ain’t callin’ me home
I ain’t done leanin’ on this throne
Got a half-warm beer
And a full-blown heartbreak
Turn that key, but the truck won’t shake
You can shut this place down, one by one
I’ll chase her name till the rising sun
Yeah, last call ain’t callin’ me home
It’s just callin’ me back
To what’s gone and done left me alone
