I’ve Heard “Last Day” Before

“Ohhh… I’ve heard last day before…”

They said, “This is it,” more times than I can count, Night after night like a closing account. But I’ve watched dawn drag across the dirt, With a soul half-healed and a heart half-hurt.

The fire was close, but I didn’t fall, You can’t burn a man who’s lost it all.

If today was my last day—no, not anymore. I’ve heard “last day” before. I’ve bled on this road, I’ve sworn, I’ve swore, And the dawn still knocks on my door.

I’ve stood on the line where the black winds bite, Spoke to death in the dead of night. He grinned and said, “Boy, you know what’s next.” I said, “Not tonight. I’ve still got breath.”

If today was my last day—no, not anymore. I’ve heard “last day” before. I’ve danced with the dark and settled the score, And the dawn still knocks on my door.

“I’ve seen the end so many times, it learned my name… but it never learned my song.”

So pour that fear back in the ground, Let thunder fade, I won’t back down. If this is it, then let it be— The road still owes a mile to me.

If today was my last day—no, not anymore. I’ve heard “last day” before. I’ll ride this storm till the angels roar, And the dawn don’t knock—she soars.

Ohhh… I’ve heard “last day”… before.
