From the recording Songs From A Dry River
As a coda on the album, this appears to be the notorious Diamond Jim and the Barn Burners recorded live in some dive in southern Arizona. At least that is how I imagine it, but in fact it is a "faux" live song mixed in the studio. We can dream, right?
Recording began in September 2023 and completed in December. Mastered by Anna Frick at Ally Mastering. All instruments played by Diamond Jim, except tenor sax by Hugo Lee (Australia) and drums programmed in EZ Drummer 3. Bar scene sound FX from Sounddogs.com.
Lyrics
We been playin’ a while, gonna take a break
I’ll give you a smile if it’s not too late.
Let me tell what I’m really up to
I got one more chance,
to make it with you.
It’s one last call
I got one last call
I got one last chance, to get with you
I got one last call for you
Got a brand new suit
And a hole in my boot
With a wiggle in the middle
I’m in pursuit
Got some gas in my car
I can take us real far…
Time to get away from this noisy bar.
It’s one last call
I got one last call…
I got one last chance, to get with you
I got one last call for you.
I’ll be standing pat
With my Stetson hat
It’s almost time for you to go.
Buy you one more round
If you’ll stick around
And I know…
That the night’s almost over
And there you are.
Just broke a string
On my old guitar
If you wait for me
Just a minute or two
I can do just one more song for you.
But I’ll be standing pat
In my western hat
It’s almost time for me to go.
Buy you one more round
If you’ll stick around,
I’ll grow on you I know…cuz I got
One more song
I got one more song…
I got one last song, to play for you
Just one more song for you.
Baby it’s one last call…
One last call…
Got one last chance, to get with you.
I got one last call for you.
Really, it’s a one last call…
Just One last call…
Got one last chance, to get with you.
I got one last call for you.
I got one last call for you.
I got one last call …for you.
