Second Last Call Lyrics by Jay Bennett

Kicking at the Perfumed Air

2010

(One-two, one-two-three-four)
Well, he checked his soul at the door
And he checked out the tired old scene
Then he found his mind just wondering off
Back to somewhere in between
So, he ordered himself one more beer
And that ordered his mouth for a while
As he searched around the bar room floor
For something resembling her smile
So, he fills up his lungs with smoke
And he fills up his guts with beer
'Cause somewhere forever it's still happy hour
But it's second last call around here
When the memories came rushing back
So dizzy he couldn't even stand
But that was alright, he'd just sit here
And listen to that shitty old band
"Well, why not one more Merle Haggard?"
He yelled at the singer again
And the singer just paused, took a shot
And said, "How 'bout Hank Williams, my friend?"
So, he fills up his lungs with smoke
And he fills up his guts with beer
'Cause somewhere forever it's still happy hour
But it's second last call around here
('Round here; hit it baby, hard, yeah, let's go)
The barmaid was sweeping the floor
She just swept him out too
As he laid there in the gutter
Did it matter what he would do?
He'd go home and write a song
And it would be a number one hit
'Cause he'd sing about his lost love
And everyone could relate to it
So, he fills up his lungs with smoke
And he fills up his guts with beer
'Cause somewhere forever it's still happy hour
But it's second last call around here
(Thank you)
