written by G.P. Nunn & D.S. Farar performed by Willie Nelson Time=3/4 C G Postman delivered a past due bill notice F G The alarm clock rang 2 hours late C G The garbage man left all the trash on the sidewalk F G & the hinges fell off of the gate F This mornin' at breakfast, I spilled all the coffee C G Am I opened the door on my knee F C The last thing I needed first thing this mornin' G G7 C Was to have you walk out on me Verse 2: Last night you came home late & I knew you'd been drinkin' By that old mellow look on your face But I thought, It don't matter 'cause it's the Holiday season & you fill such a big empty space & I lay down beside you & I wanted your lovin' 'Cause your love makes my life complete The last thing I needed first thing this mornin' Was to have you walk out on me F C So excuse me for lookin' like my world just ended F C Excuse me for lookin' like I just lost my best friend F Excuse me for livin' & be forgivin' C Just go on if you wanna be free F C But the last thing I needed first thing this mornin' G G7 C Was to have you walk out on me
