Take One Last Look - Cover of the song by Tom Waits

Tom performed this song on the Dave Letterman show in 2015.

The lyrics:

Take One Last Look – Tom Waits

Let's watch the sun come up from another town
Try our luck a little farther down
Leave the cards on the table
Leave the bread on the plate
Put your hand on the gearshift
Take your foot off the brake

And take one last look
At the place that you are leaving
Take one last look
Oh, take one last look
At the place that you are leaving
Take one last look

Our bed was something that the wind couldn't carry
The arrow points away across the waiting prairie
This car looks like it could give us a good run
Our choice to leave was a good one

Let's look forward to the lights that are new
The world is a ribbon of road for you
All towns have churches and tire shops
They put up speed-limit signs and they hire cops
I love to see the wind in your hair
All we ever need we can get anywhere

So take one last look
At the place that you are leaving
Take one last look
Oh take one last look
At the place that you are leaving
Take one last look
Take one last look
Take one last look
