The Last Call Girls: Music
Time to Burn
(The Last Call Girls)
by Nancy McCallion
The "for sale" sign is in the yard
The babies all are grown
I been working way too hard
And now I'm all alone
I bought this morgage long ago
I never took my turn
But my car is warming up outside
And now would be the time to burn
When I was just eighteen years old
I thought I met my man
I did the way my mama did
And never took a stand
But now my mama's in her grave
Never to return
And my man has found a sweet young thing
And now would be the time to burn
There's dirty dishes in the sink
And clothes across my bed
I'll write my name is all this dust
And leave this life for dead
Tonight I'll make some memories
To ease this ache and yearn
So step right up and break my heart
'Cause now would be the time to burn
