The Last Thing I Do - James Otto

I’ve been livin' on truck stop coffee

Cigarettes and vitamin C It’s a wonder that the Devil ain’t caught me I guess he’s tired of playin' hide and seek

I’ve been drivin' like I’m struck by lightnin'

I think about you, and I start to speed

I might as well be playin' with matches

In a trailer load of gasoline

CHORUS:

IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO

IF IT TAKES ME FROM TUPELO TO TIMBUKTU

IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO

I’M GONNA DODGE EVERY ROAD BLOCK, SPEED TRAP, COUNTY COP

TO GET MY HANDS ON YOU

IF IT’S THE LAST THING I DO

A box of chicken and a day old biscuit

Ain’t nothin' left but a few old bones

I oughtta stop, but I’m gonna risk it Caffeine got me chewin' Styrofoam

Girl, I’m callin' out of Kansas City

From a fillin' station telephone

Just had to tell you what I’ve been thinkin'

First thing I wanna do when I get home

REPEAT CHORUS

Well, I’ve been drivin' like I’m struck by lightnin'

I think about you, and I start to speed

I might as well be playin' with matches

In a trailer load of gasoline

REPEAT CHORUS

If it’s the last thing I do If it’s the last thing I do Ah, yeah
