The Last One To Leave Seattle

Me and Julie Ray got married
We were both just sixteen
Quit school and took
What work we could find
We just got tired of working
Hard wanted to change the scenes
So, we packed our clothes
And left it all behind

We got off the trailways bus
In downtown Seattle
I found a job drivin' a cab
And I worked all night while
That taxi meter clicked away
I was a-losin' my Julie Ray
To the honky-tonkin'
Bright Seattle lights

Will the last one to leave Seattle
Please, turn out the lights?
Those lights are the reason
Why she ain't here tonight
If you see her tell her
I left for home tonight
Will the last one to leave Seattle
Please, turn out the lights

Seattle made Val Dolsta look
Like a wide place in the road
The brights light and the night
Life really turned her on
If those lights go out some night
I still want that girl to know
A light will always burn for her at home

Will the last one to leave Seattle
Please, turn out the lights?
Those lights are the reason
Why she ain't here tonight
If you see her tell her
I left for home tonight
Will the last one to leave Seattle
Please, turn out the lights

Will the last one to leave Seattle
Turn out the lights
