Last Night At Closing Time Lyrics

He lost that battle with the bottle
Late last night
Those old drinkin’ demons got him
In the neon lights
He never did get over her
Lord, she made him lose his mind
It was a broken heart that killed him
Last night at closing time

He sat on his favorite barstool
While the jukebox played
Those old sad songs would take him
To a lonely place
Drowning in a whiskey river
He reached the end of the LINE
He left this world without her
Last night at closing time

He closed his eyes one last time
When the angels called him home
No longer haunted by the memories
Of those nights alone
With a cigarette still burning
And an empty glass of wine
He traded Hell for Heaven
Last night at closing time

It was a broken heart that killed him
Last night at closing time
