Be Your Last

On a midnight drive from Austin
smoked your first cigarette

listenin' to that wind howl
saw youth on your breath

told me of only one other girl
you'd kissed before we met

and what you'd change about your life
is you have nothin' to regret

and I can feel a changin'
a moral rearangin'

if you want to be a wild one
don't run away too fast

if you wanna be a drifter
promise you'll come back

and if you're gonna be a sinner
better keep your heart intact

I will be your first
but I'd rather be your last

I was raised on beer and hockey
in the land of socially free

livin' like that wind blows
no caution or boundaries

we met on southern ground
where we both remain to be

but now my biggest fear of all
is that you're ending up like me

and I can feel a changin'
a moral rearangin'

if you want to be a wild one
don't run away too fast

if you're gonna be a drifter
promise you'll come back

and if you wanna be a sinner
then baby keep your heart intact

I will be your first
but I'd rather be your last

darlin' what you choose to be
is gonna have to be alright by me

'cause I was a wild one
who got away too fast

and I am a drifter
who's finally coming back

and baby we're all sinners
tryin' to keep our hearts intact

so you won't be my first
you won't be my first

cause I was a wild one
who got away too fast

and I am a drifter
who's finally coming back

and baby we're all sinners
tryin' to keep our hearts intact

so you won't be my first
no, you won't be my first

but you'll gladly be
my last
