Dr. Hook - Last Mornin' Lyrics
This is the last mornin' that I wake up in this dirty city
Looking for the sunshine as the buildings block the skies
This is the last mornin' that I wash in rusty water
Tryin' to shave a face that I don't even recognise
I can smell the garbage rottin'
Hear the children cryin' in an apartment down below
This is the last mornin', that I'm gonna have to listen to it
I'm going home, yeah
This is the last mornin', that I try to breath the heavy air
Fight the crowds, avoid the traffic, watch the world turn grey
This is the last mornin' that I drink my coffee standing up
Smile and speak to strangers who just turn and walk away
And I'll guess I'll never cut it here
And I'm so tired of tryin' to stand against it all alone
This is the last mornin', that I'm gonna have to fight it
I'm going home, yeah
This is the last mornin' that I wear these greasy overalls
Punch the clock and do just what I'm told to get along
And face the long evenin', layin' close beside my radio
Imaginin' the kisses of the girl that sings the song
Down below the subway's screaming
As I lay here halfway dreaming
Looking at the ceiling, wondering where, the dream went wrong (where, where)
This is the last mornin', that I'm gonna have to think about it
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home

Dr. Hook Last Mornin' Comments
Superb. A genius to be sure.
Great tune🎶🎤🎸
There is nothing more true than this song for anyone who's had to live it.
it is tragic so many people miss the fact this song is about suicide.
I disagree, just had enough of the city, going home
You are right...
Trying to shave face I don't even recognize
The Tartan Soldier which lp is this from? It sounds 100% better than the other version floating around YouTube.BTW Thanks for posting this.
It's from Sloppy Seconds.
great song
Raw pure honest reality sung only the Ray could describe it. Being a child of the 60's may have something to do with it too...?
Dennis Locorriere is the main voice on this version (the one used in the movie). (Not Ray - with the eye-patch)
on Friday 11/18/16 my job is ending. I have been on the job 27 yrs. The business is closing. I have this song on my mp3!
When life was at its best
one of my favorite dr. Hook songs! But really i dont think there is one i dont like. They're all hits to me!
Last day at work yesterday, packing my room and going home for good...
Mark Rinard Happy about it??
You've had a year to decide!!
Jeez , that is a hell of a song.Thanks for posting. The lyrics are very interesting and the singing suits those words so well.
I like to have a karaoke version of last morning, anybody?
The best band, best album in my time... Love it. Tnx
do you have the video lyrics to a high flying eagle? thanks love this song!
This is the Last Morning.... I'm going home!
Thank you for making this lyric video. This was the song played at my dad's funeral per his request. Today is the 12 year anny of his passing and this song is part of the therapy I use on this day. <3
@Andrew M. I'm sorry it took me so long to reply sweetheart, but again, thank you so much. There actually are two other songs I have hunted for and never found lyric videos for. Daddy's Little Girl by Ray Sawyer, and Everybody's Making it Big But Me by Dr. Hook. The first one used to make my dad actually tear up, and the second was one of my favorites and always made us laugh. If you find the time, those would be wonderful!
skyedancer22 is pissing someone off
wtf are you talking about I'm pissing someone off. This song was special to me and I thanked them.
Kim Mattsen What ARE you talking about?
No problem. Thank you for continuing to listen to these classics!
If there's any other lyric videos you want made that aren't already on youtube, give me a shout and I'll see what I can do!
Thank you for posting! I own the album and have a copy on my mp3 player, but sometimes YouTube is just easier.
This is one of my favorite songs. Period.
always wanted this played when I die...
Amen brother
One of my all time faves by Dr. Hook. Lots of emotion in this one.
