Before the Ship Goes Down

Glenn Frey


This might be my last party, might be my last night  
So come on pretty baby let's do it right  
Let's fill up the wagon, let's go down town  
Let's find all our old buddies, before the ship goes down  

Hey let's throw a party, way into the night  
I wanna play the blues 'til the morning light  
One thing I know baby, the brass ring's comin around  
Let's grab it one more time before the ship goes down  

There's no tomorrow we all know that  
So grab your coat, put on your hat  
It's one for the money and two for the show  
Your time is up are you ready to go?

I don't wanna argue, I don't wanna fight  
I just wanna go dancin' with you tonight  
See everybody happy everybody have another round  
Let's sing that song one more time  
before the ship goes down  

The water's rough it's a stormy sea  
Before you know it we'll be history  
This is it, so light me up  
Come on baby fill my lovin' cup  

If somebody told you this was your last night  
Wouldn't you want somebody to treat you right  
Throw you a party, take you for a ride downtown  
And be with all your old friends,  
before the ship goes down  
So love me one more time,  
before the ship goes down.
