[Verse 1]
Last days are pullin’ in
Like a storm on the old freight line
Past years just reflections
In a cracked bar mirror at closing time
Distant memories, yeah, they drift
Like those cheap red matches and smoke
Nothing is as it seems at the last draw
Every promise turns to a joke
[Chorus]
At the last draw
All falls as the scroll is written
At the last draw
Every prayer sounds like it’s quittin’
I keep draggin’ on this old scarred soul
Like a coat that never fits right
At the last draw, baby
You see the whole hand in the light
[Verse 2]
Your name in the ashtray dust
Your glass still stains the wood
I replay all the wrong words
Try to twist ’em into somethin’ good
But the dealer just keeps dealin’
Same cards, same crooked grin
Nothing is as it seems at the last draw
You lose slow, then all at once you’re in
[Chorus]
At the last draw
All falls as the scroll is written
At the last draw
Every prayer sounds like it’s quittin’
I keep draggin’ on this old scarred soul
Like a coat that never fits right
At the last draw, baby
You see the whole hand in the light
[Bridge]
[Band drops soft, guitar barely whispering]
So I raise this chipped glass higher
To the ghosts leanin’ on the wall (oh yeah)
If I was ever meant for somethin’
I was meant for this fall
[Chorus]
At the last draw
All falls as the scroll is written
At the last draw
Even lies feel almost bitten
I keep draggin’ on this old scarred soul
Through the slow curl of the night
At the last draw, darlin’
We finally see it
We finally see it
In the light
