Last Thing I Needed, First Thing This Morning Lyrics by Chris Stapleton

From a Room: Volume 1

2017

[Verse 1]
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 opened the door on my knee
[Refrain]
Oh, the last thing I needed, the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
[Verse 2]
Last night you came home late, and I knew you'd been drinking
By that old mellow look on your face
And 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 loving
'Cause your love makes my life complete
[Refrain]
Oh, the last thing I needed, the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
[Verse 3]
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 loving, and being forgiving
So just go on if you want to be free
[Refrain / Outro]
The last thing I needed, the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
Oh, the last thing I needed, the first thing this morning
Was to have you walk out on me
