Over the Rhine - Last Night On Earth Again lyrics

Down south where Elvis is king And Jesus is Lord We drove just shy of forever In our wheezy old Ford Hey love, don't you think this life Has grown a little absurd? He said, Not bad for a Yankee girl Destined for Betty Ford (Oh Lord I said) Help me, it's our last night on earth again Help me, it's our last night on earth again I've been livin' this so-called life since I can't remember when Help me, it's our last night on earth again Down in Texas where guns and guitars Are the friends a man loves best You might feel like your spinning wheels Are truly headed West Someone said the best we can hope for Is to make a beautiful mess I put my soul up for sale And the whole world asked, Could you take any less? Help me, it's our last night on earth again Help me, it's our last night on earth again I told Jesus he could have my heart He said, What kinda shape's it in? Help me, it's our last night on earth again Down South where Elvis is king And Jesus is Lord We played our songs in a field Where they found a Civil War sword I was singin' Amazing Grace And someone yelled, Freebird I strummed and smiled to myself and said, Honey, it's a b**h to be ignored Help me, it's our last night on earth again Help me, it's our last night on earth again I've been wonderin' my whole life, How's this goin' to end? Help me, it's our last night on earth again
