The Last In Line by Billy Crockett Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1999

The last in line doesn’t ever make the team
Doesn’t get a second chance
Doesn’t find a field of dreams
The last in line doesn’t get a special prize
Doesn’t ever hear his name
You don’t look him in the eyes
Nobody wants to be the last in line

The last in line doesn't get an even break
Has to stand up on the bus
Thinks her life is a mistake
The last in line doesn't make it out of town
When the storm blows in
And the walls tumble down
It don't pay to be the last in line

Crazy old man in a long gray beard
Shouting out chapter and verse
Take the last in line, take the last in line
Take the last in line and put 'em first
Put 'em first
The last in line is left standing on the curb
Where you figure he's a drunk or he's mentally disturbed
The last in line gets a finger in her face
Gets pushed out of the way, told to find another place
You don't want to be the last in line

Crazy old man in a long gray beard
Shouting out chapter and verse
Take the last in line, take the last in line
Take the last in line and put 'em first
Put 'em first

The last in line doesn't get to play guitar
Doesn't go out on the town, doesn't wish upon a star
The last in line has a long, long way to go
Knows that she could disappear and nobody'd ever know
Nobody wants to be the last in line

Crazy old man in a long gray beard
Shouting out chapter and verse
Take the last in line, take the last in line
Take the last in line
Go get the last in line, take the last in line
Take the last in line

1, 2, 3, 4, whatcha doin' keepin' score?
Take the last and the worst, dust 'em off and put 'em first
Put 'em first
