Last But Not Least

Zac Brown Band · Uncaged [2012]

There ain't enough of me to go around

Got all kinds of reasons

To be all over town

Spread venom broken down

Everybody wants a piece

Oh darlin I'm afraid



You've been last but not least

Everyone I love the most

Has to take what's left of me

I put it all together

But I left out one big piece

I put you last

But you're not least



Nothing ever takes the place of you

Sometimes things that may not matter

Jump in front of things that do

And your fine to stand in line

While history repeats

But oh darlin not this time



Last but not least

Everyone I love the most

They deserve the best from me

I put it all together

When I found that missing piece

You were the last

But you're not least



I go left when I should go right

I chase the dark when I see light

I trip and fall down every time I try

To walk that line

The sun comes up I look for rain

I search for joy and I find the pain

I swear I will never get again

Last but not least



Last but not least

Everyone I love the most

Is gonna see the best of me

I put it all together

When I found the missing piece

You were the last

You were the last

But you're not least
