Last Call

...Ron Hensley   1977

 

We're all down at "the local bar"(wherever you're playing)

Havin' lots of fun

Shootin' pool and drink'n  beer

Aint hurtin' anyone

Dancin' with the pretty girls

Laughin' and-a jokin'

Nobody even has to guess

What the hell we've been smokin'

 

Country/honkytonkin'/rock-n-rollin' blues guitar lead

 

Chorus:

"Last Call for alcohol"

Is heard across the room

Words that we all hate to hear

'Cuz they always come too soon

"Last Call for alcohol"

It hammers on the ear

The party's almost over

You've got time for one more beer

 

One last round for everyone

"Hell, make it on the house!"

Bartender glares at me

Sweat runs down his brow"Look out, now!"

One more quarter in the jukebox

"Hey Jack,Rack'em one more time"

One more joke and one more smoke

And you spend your last dime

 

It's breakfast time at two o'clock

Head for the all night cafe

There's a buzzin' in our heads

That we hankered for all day

The buzz costs a pretty penny

But, it's worth every dime

Yea, it's two o'clock in the early morn'

Everybody's feelin' fine

 

2nd chorus(different lyrics)

"Last Call for alcohol"

The words ring out quite clear

Grab your coat and your cowboy hat

Down your last beer

"Last Call for alcohol"

"See you all next week!"

Grab the keys to your pickup truck

Time to hit the street

 

music break

 

repeat 1st chorus and end

 

I play this song in the key of G country rock blues

This is the first song I ever wrote.
