The Last One to Leave Seattle (1985) Songtext
von Waylon Jennings

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
