I?ve been hanging up the laundry
Fixing my husband?s lunch
Mom and Dad?s working the garden
And I?ve got a hunch
That I?ve died and gone to heaven
I think it because
This is the best that it ever was
It?s the last song of the evening
Everything turned out alright
It?s the last song of the evening
It?s the last song of the night
Verse
I raised three healthy boys and very little hell
I was a country girl, but I lived to tell
About riveting bombers during World War Two
I met a blue-eyed man who thought I hung the moon
He carved me a heart out of a walnut tree
He loved me, he loved me
It?s the last song of the evening
Everything turned out alright
Love came down and found me
Now it?s the last song of the night
Solo
Verse
It?s getting late, that?s what the weatherman said
I?m dog tired and I?m ready for bed
I?m pulling up the covers all alone
But I?ll be waking up in a carpenter?s arms
My children?s children won?t miss me that?s true
But I guess I did what I came here to do
Outro
It?s the last song of the evening
Everything turned out alright
It?s the last song of the evening
It?s the last song of the night
It?s the last song of the night
