Last Time I Let You Down

Shooter Jennings


Well, my mama tried 
To keep me out of trouble
But the devil 
Wouldn't have it that way
Oh boy, pray and stay humble
Were the last words 
That I heard her say

And tonight I'll be drivin' 
Way past cryin'
It's last time that I let you down
If I hadn't broken her heart 
It wouldn't be so hard
To lay her into the cold, cold ground
It's the last time that I let you down

Well, my woman 
She's all packed and she's leavin'
Said I crossed that line 
One too many times
Talk about drinkin' and ridin' 
Hell raisin'
Lord, no, I gave her the ride

And tonight 
I'll be drivin', way past cryin'
It's last time that I let you down
If I hadn't broken her heart 
It wouldn't be so hard
To watch her, not turn her down
It's the last time that I let her down

And I pray that I stay out of trouble

Cause tonight I'll be drivin' 
Way past cryin'
It's last time that I let you down
I'll be goin' under the den 
Until this road ends
Maybe then I'll turn it around
It's the last time 
That I let you down

Yeah, it's the last time 
That I let you down
Oh, it's the last time 
That I let you down
