Johnny too bad now, don'tcha know   As he pushed that old Chevy down to Mexico   Thought he'd give Vera Cruz a whirl   Picking up the language from the local girls   People say this world sure can chew you up   But he lived by the dice trusting his good luck - alright   So he found himself a home and he got a girl   And he didn't want for nothing in this whole world   Swore he'd give up running if they'd let him be   Living was simple but it sure was free   Hey there, darling what's your hurry now?   Come sit with me and watch the sun go down      And you can see him smile when the day is done   'Cause the last sunset is the prettiest one   The last sunset is the prettiest one      Wasn't long before the sirens came   From miles away like they were calling his name   Found a picture that he'd never seen, taken at the last bank in Abilene   So he says to his wife, "My running days are done"   And he sits on his porch and he lets them come      And you can see him smile when the day is done   'Cause the last sunset is the prettiest one   The last sunset is the prettiest one      And you can see him smile when the day is done   'Cause the last sunset is the prettiest one   The last sunset is the prettiest one
