Gonna write the last song   someone's gotta....might as well be me   while the missle's in the sky   gonna write a lullaby   then I guess I'll have to leave you be   gonna write the last song   gonna write the last song   save it for my baby   save it for my baby      No more time to get hustled   no more time to get screwed   song would get me in the show   but I guess we'll never know   all because we ain't got no crude   gonna write the last song   gonna write the last song   save it for my baby   save it for my baby      somewhere in the world   they'll be other guys   with guitars in their hands   thinking 'bout the day   that she said goodbye   but they don't understand      That I'm gonna wait 'em out son   my last note's gonna hang in the air   it's gonna make you cry   then we're all gonna die   but then who said life was fair   gonna write the last song   gonna write the last song   save it for my baby   save it for my baby
