Last Thing I Needed First Thing This Morning

[Intro]

The postman delivered

A "past due" bill notice

The alarm clock rang two hours late

The garbage man left all the trash

On the sidewalk

And the hinges fell off of the gate

And this morning at breakfast

I spilled all the coffee

And I opened the door on my knee

[Chorus]

But the last thing I needed

The first thing this morning

Was to have you walk out on me

[Verse 1]

Last night you came home late

And I knew you'd been drinking

By that old mellow look on your face

I thought, "It don't matter

Because it's the holiday season"

And you fill such a big empty space

But then I laid down beside you

And I wanted your loving

Because your love makes my life complete

[Chorus]

But the last thing I needed

The first thing this morning

Was to have you walk out on me

[Verse 2]

So excuse me for looking

Like my world just ended

And excuse me for looking

Like I just lost my best friend

And excuse me for living

And being forgiving

So just go on if you want to be free

[Chorus]

But the last thing I needed

The first thing this morning

Was to have you walk out on me
