Last Straw
_I guess I have myself to blame
I let you think that if you asked me I’d do anything
Well, there’s one tiny, little flaw
This camel’s back is bent as far as it will go
And that’s the last straw
I’m setting down this load
So you can keep your last straw
I never thought you’d go this far
I stopped to catch my breath and now I can’t get back to where you are
So now there’s nothing left to save
You took everything I gave and now my back is bruised and raw
And that’s the last straw
I’m setting down this load
Believe me, that’s the last straw
I’m out the door and down the road
So you can keep your last straw
I hate to say I told you so
But I think you know what you can do with the last straw
If you need directions let me know
Cause I’d love to tell you where to go
So you can keep the last straw
I’m setting down this load
Believe me, that’s the last straw
I’m out the door and down the road
You can keep the last straw
Go find another fool to carry that load
Yeah, there’s one sure thing that I know
I don’t want your last straw
I let you think that if you asked me I’d do anything
Well, there’s one tiny, little flaw
This camel’s back is bent as far as it will go
And that’s the last straw
I’m setting down this load
So you can keep your last straw
I never thought you’d go this far
I stopped to catch my breath and now I can’t get back to where you are
So now there’s nothing left to save
You took everything I gave and now my back is bruised and raw
And that’s the last straw
I’m setting down this load
Believe me, that’s the last straw
I’m out the door and down the road
So you can keep your last straw
I hate to say I told you so
But I think you know what you can do with the last straw
If you need directions let me know
Cause I’d love to tell you where to go
So you can keep the last straw
I’m setting down this load
Believe me, that’s the last straw
I’m out the door and down the road
You can keep the last straw
Go find another fool to carry that load
Yeah, there’s one sure thing that I know
I don’t want your last straw
