Last in a Long Lonesome Line

Patty Loveless · On Your Way Home [2003]

If I appear to be holdin' on tight

You'd be right, I've been holdin' on for dear life

The way that it's all been goin', there's talk I just might

Be the last of, the last in a long lonesome line



I made mistakes I won't try to defend

God knows what I've been through to get where I am

They say the blood in my body is agein' like wine

I'm the last of, the last in a long lonesome line.



For better or worse

I have lived life so fast

I wasn't the first

Hate to think I'm the last

Of the last in a long lonesome line.

Tears an' whiskey, yeah, I spilled my share

But it's the music that's kept me goin' through all of these years

An' there's some songs still need singin' before closin' time

From the last of, the last in a long lonesome line.



For better or worse

I have lived life so fast

I wasn't the first

Hate to think I'm the last

Of the last in a long lonesome line.



Oh, I'm the last of, the last in a long lonesome line...
