Lyrics

Last Thing I Needed, First Thing This Morning

Gary P. Nunn, Donna Sioux Farar

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
The hinges fell off the gate
This morning at breakfast I spilled all the coffee
I opened a door on my knee
The last thing I needed the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me

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, cause it’s the 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

So excuse me for looking like my world just ended
Excuse me for looking like I just lost my best friend
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
