"Last Thing I Needed, First Thing This Morning" Lyrics:
And 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 on the coffee
And I opened the door on my knee
The last thing I needed the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
By that old mellow look on your face
But I thought it don't matter cause it's holiday season
And you fill such a big empty space
And I laid down beside you and I wanted your lovin'
'Cause your love makes my life complete
The last thing I needed the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
Excuse me for looking like I just lost my best friend
So excuse me for living and being forgiven so just go on if you want to be free
But the last thing I needed the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
