The Last One to Go
Hope that we're still years away from the ending
Hope that we're less than halfway through the show
Hope that one day we can just fade off together
'Cause the saddest part of any true love is someone ends up alone
I'd rather be the one that's cryin'
I'd rather be the one that rides
In that long black limousine with half of a love inside
I'll be the one to take the flowers
And spread 'em 'round back home
I'd rather be the one that's sleepin' in this quiet old house alone
Hope that I'm the last one to go
I can't stand the thought of you wearin' a black dress
Huggin' your sisters and tellin' them that you don't need them to stay
And the tears tattoo your face in that picture window
While our children and their children slowly drive away
I'd rather be the one that's cryin'
I'd rather be the one that rides
In that long black limousine with half of a love inside
I'll be the one to take the flowers
And spread 'em 'round back home
I'd rather be the one that's sleepin' in this quiet old house alone
Hope that I'm the last one to go
I'd rather be the one that's cryin'
I'd rather be the one that rides
In that long black limousine with half of a love inside
I'll be the one to take the flowers
And spread 'em 'round back home
I'd rather be the one that's sleepin' in this quiet old house alone
Hope that I'm the last one to go
Hope that we're less than halfway through the show
Hope that one day we can just fade off together
'Cause the saddest part of any true love is someone ends up alone
I'd rather be the one that's cryin'
I'd rather be the one that rides
In that long black limousine with half of a love inside
I'll be the one to take the flowers
And spread 'em 'round back home
I'd rather be the one that's sleepin' in this quiet old house alone
Hope that I'm the last one to go
I can't stand the thought of you wearin' a black dress
Huggin' your sisters and tellin' them that you don't need them to stay
And the tears tattoo your face in that picture window
While our children and their children slowly drive away
I'd rather be the one that's cryin'
I'd rather be the one that rides
In that long black limousine with half of a love inside
I'll be the one to take the flowers
And spread 'em 'round back home
I'd rather be the one that's sleepin' in this quiet old house alone
Hope that I'm the last one to go
I'd rather be the one that's cryin'
I'd rather be the one that rides
In that long black limousine with half of a love inside
I'll be the one to take the flowers
And spread 'em 'round back home
I'd rather be the one that's sleepin' in this quiet old house alone
Hope that I'm the last one to go
