Lyrics for The Last One to Leave Seattle
Me and Julie Ray got married We were both just 16 Quit school and took what work that we could find Just got tired of working hard Wanted a change of scene So we packed our clothes and left it all behind We got off the Trailways bus in downtown Seattle I found a job driving a cab and I worked all night While that taxi meter clicked away I was losing my Julie Ray to the honky-tonk in bright Seattle lights Will the last one to leave Seattle, please turn out the lights? Those lights are the reason why she ain't here tonight If you see her, tell her I left for home tonight Will the last one to leave Seattle please turn out the lights? Seattle made Valdosta look like a wide place in the road The bright lights and the nightlife really turned her on But if those lights go out some night, I still want that Girl to know a light will always burn for her at home Will the last one to leave Seattle please turn out the lights? Those lights are the reason why she ain't here tonight If you see her, tell her I left for home tonight Will the last one to leave Seattle please turn out the lights? Will the last one to leave Seattle, hmm, turn out the lights? Hmm
