THE LAST TIME
by Mark Heard.
Pull string, dobro and pedal steel: Al Perkins•Mandolin, lead guitar and hambone: Mark
This could be the last time I awake
This could be the last breath that I take
This could be the last time that I pray
This could be the day I fly away

This could be the last time I sing a song
This could be the day I say so long
This could be the last meal that I eat
This could be the last beat my heart beats

But I can't place such a bet
So I won't just sit and fret
Until I'm gone

This could be the last day my eyes see
This could be the last day you see me
This could be the last night in my bed
This could be the last thought in my head

I won't cast my life to the wind
I'll treasure as much as I can
While I can, I can

Though I may be gone before too long
As long as I am here I'll sing this song

This could be the last time
This could be the last time
This could be the last time...
