Lyrics: This Is The Last Song I’m Ever Going To Sing
This is the last song I’m ever going to sing
The last time I’ll play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn’t gain a thing
Oh I’m never gonna be a starI came to Nashville a long time ago
People said that I could be a star
But all that I remember is loneliness and hunger
Oh sure didn’t get so farThis is the last song I’m ever going to sing
The last time I’ll play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn’t gain a thing
Oh I’m never gonna be a starThe big time operators made a fool out of me
It sure don’t feel so good to fail
I’ve slept on every park bench in every park in Nashville
Oh I slept in a Nashville jailThis is the last song I’m ever going to sing
The last time I’ll play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn’t gain a thing
Oh I’m never gonna be a star
Oh I’m never gonna be a star
Oh never gonna be a star
Oh I’m never gonna be a star
