Murray McLauchlin - On Your Last Go 'round

Look me up when you don't pretend
That the bottle is your only friend
Look me up when there's no farther down
When you're on your last go 'round

No way to tell how you used to be
You're ragged now and living on the street
Long gone from any family
And any yesterday
We come into this world the same
Seeing you is just a crying shame
You only stare when they ask your name
You've only got today

Look me up when you don't pretend
That the bottle is your only friend
Look me up when there's no farther down When you're on your last go 'round

They look away when you're falling down
You've gone too far
Nobody's laughing now
You try and talk but no sense comes out
You're staring at the passers by
Maybe once you had a suit and tie
Now you're sleeping any place that's dry
Looking at you would make a grown man cry
So people walk by.

Look me up when you don't pretend
That the bottle is your only friend
Look me up when there's no farther down
When you're on your last go 'round
