Willie Nelson - Essential Willie Nelson (2003) - Last Thing I Needed First Thing This Morning lyrics

  • 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 I opened the door on my knee
    But 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

    But then I laid down beside you
    And I wanted your lovin'
    Because your love makes my life complete
    But the last thing I needed
    The first thing this morning
    Was to have you walk out on me

    So excuse me for lookin'
    Like my world just ended
    And excuse me for lookin'
    Like I just lost my best friend
    And excuse me for livin'
    And being forgiving
    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
