my last guarantee

my last guarantee

I heard on the phone

From a friend of a friend

That you’re calling it quits

It’s over, the end

And I couldn’t help laughing

I laughed long and hard

And it’s breaking me up

Like that old mason jar

You love who you are

But if you cut out your heart then you bleed

And you’ll regret it

This is my last, my last guarantee

Remember that night at the Cinnamon Lounge?

When we scared up the dead

Drinking round after round after round…

On the highway

When I found your keys

We must have flown forty or fifty odd feet

I love who you are

But if you cut out your heart then you bleed

And you’ll regret it

This is my last, my last guarantee

This old town’s been wrecked out before

And it’s miles before the dawn

This old car’s been left on the farm

I recall, I recall, I recall, I recall….

It’s a wonderful life but it’s cold and it’s hard

When the battery’s dead

There’s no gas in the fuckin-a car

I will miss you, but think of the news

That you will generate when you smash that cocoon

We love who you are

But if you cut out your heart then you bleed

And you’ll regret it

This is my last, my last guarantee
