Lyrics:
I think it's my last time listening
to the silence of Missouri snow
All I've got is a nine to five and
there's another one down the road
So I'll pack it in
I've paid my dues
Ante up baby because I don't owe you
I've done all you've asked me to
And now I'm gone
And I'm heading to the land of cypress trees
Where the Midwest cold can't follow me
Heading down where the River don't freeze for long
Baby, I'll be gone
I'll be gone, I'll be gone, Long gone
Well I think it's my last time waiting
For somebody to break my heart
Last time running into my old wrecks
In them River City bars
So I'll knock one back
About last call
I know how you always loved to watch me fall
I never meant a thing at all
Well now I'm gone
I think it's my last time leaving
This old, familiar town
Heaven knows I've tried to make my peace
But I can't settle down
Here I go
Place your bets
I might fail but I haven't yet
All I leave is one regret
That I stayed too long ...
I think it's my last time listening
to the silence of Missouri snow
All I've got is a nine to five and
there's another one down the road
So I'll pack it in
I've paid my dues
Ante up baby because I don't owe you
I've done all you've asked me to
And now I'm gone
And I'm heading to the land of cypress trees
Where the Midwest cold can't follow me
Heading down where the River don't freeze for long
Baby, I'll be gone
I'll be gone, I'll be gone, Long gone
Well I think it's my last time waiting
For somebody to break my heart
Last time running into my old wrecks
In them River City bars
So I'll knock one back
About last call
I know how you always loved to watch me fall
I never meant a thing at all
Well now I'm gone
I think it's my last time leaving
This old, familiar town
Heaven knows I've tried to make my peace
But I can't settle down
Here I go
Place your bets
I might fail but I haven't yet
All I leave is one regret
That I stayed too long ...
