The Last Line 

By: Keith Sykes 

1977 

Given my life for songs that I sing 

Matter of fact, I've given everything 

Time has come to not make a sound 

Time has come to lay my burdens down 

Whoa oh oh (woe oh woe oh woe oh) 

Whoa oh (woe oh woe oh woe oh) 

It's come from behind 

Now is the time 

For the last line (last line) 



Managed to keep some friends on my side 

To live through the times of the rumors and lies 

Now it's time to rest my heart 

Let some other innocent fool take my part 

Whoa oh oh (woe oh woe oh woe oh) 

Whoa oh (woe oh woe oh woe oh) 

It's come from behind 

Now is the time 

For the last line (last line) 



( saxophone solo) 



Whoa oh oh oh (woe oh woe oh woe oh) 

Whoa oh (woe oh woe oh woe oh) 

It's come from behind 

Now it's the time 

For the last line (last line) 



So don't pay me no mind, I'm walkin' away 

You'll see me again on some other day 

You'll see me again, I'll be ready to go 

And pour out my songs with my heart and my soul 



Whoa oh oh (woe oh woe oh woe oh) 

Whoa oh (woe oh woe oh woe oh) 

It's come from behind 

Now is the time 

For the last line (last line) 

Yes it's come from behind 

Now is the time 

For the last line (last line) 

Ah the last line (last line)
