Before the Ship Goes Down

Glenn Frey

This might be my last party, might be my last night 
So come on pretty baby let's do it right 
Let's fill up the wagon, let's go down town 
Let's find all our old buddies, 
Before the ship goes down 

Hey let's throw a party, way into the night 
I wanna play the blues 'til the morning light 
One thing I know baby, the brass ring's comin' around 
Let's grab it one more time 
Before the ship goes down 

There's no tomorrow we all know that 
So grab your coat, put on your hat 
It's one for the money and two for the show 
Your time is up are you ready to go? 

I don't wanna argue, I don't wanna fight 
I just wanna go dancin' with you tonight 
See everybody happy everybody have another round 
Let's sing that song one more time 
Before the ship goes down 

The water's rough it's a stormy sea 
Before you know it we'll be history 
This is it, so light me up 
Come on baby fill my lovin' cup 

If Somebody told you this was your last night 
Wouldn't you want somebody to treat you right 
Throw you a party, take you for a ride downtown 
And be with all your old friends, 
Before the ship goes down 
So love me one more time, 
Before the ship goes down
