Last Night

by Mark David Manders and Neuvo Tejas

from the album "Tales from the Couch Circuit"

Transcribed by Thomas Faulkenberry

C

Hung over on the couch again

G

Feelin' like a fool don't you know I've been

F

Chasin' a dream and losing sleep

C G

Just a victim of the hours I keep

In 29 days, I'll be 30 years old

Still ain't found a job that I can hold

But I've held on through thick and thin

To one thing that I believe in

(chorus)

C G

Last night we had a pretty good crowd

F C

They were tappin' their toes and singin' out loud

Dm G

They heard every song we came to play

C G

Well I lost track of time, but I suppose

F C

We'd a played all night if that bar didn't close

G F C

Nights like that don't happen every day

I've played some dives where no one showed

I've made less than the bar tab I owed

Played for free and just for the booze

It's a little thing called payin' your dues

Those nights I got lost on my way home

And the nights I spent so all alone

Call on me from time to time

And end up in the words of a rhyme

(repeat chorus)

I'd like to shut it down for a week

Rest up my voice, maybe get some sleep

But the chances of a vacation are slight

Tryin' to make a livin' playing music at night

So I spread my bills out on the floor

Choose the ones to pay and the ones to ignore

Tell myself it'll be alright

Pick up my guitar and begin to write

(repeat chorus)
