"Last Time I Let You Down"
(Ted Russell Kamp)

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 the 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 knows I gave her the ride

And tonight I'll be drivin', way past cryin'
It's the 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 the 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
