Artist's Notes for My Last Song:
This was written in a desperate attempt to reach a goal of writing 14 songs in 28 days (Big shout out to FAWM.org!) You guessed it: I needed "one more song". Songwriters will resonate with that common fear that we often feel our most recent creation might be our last. And everyone can relate to the need to carry on a legacy of some kind when we leave this world.

Lyrics
My Last Song
I'm searching through my notes
For a smoldering ember.
Do I have one more bullet
Hiding in the chamber
Where's my muse
Has she got any breakthroughs for me
Could this be my last song
It never seems like there's another one to come
Will this be my last song
I feel like maybe I'm done
Can I come up with another one
I just need one more song
I look at what I've done
who I've loved and what I know
What will I leave behind
What do I have to show
When I checkout
Will I have laid it out for all to see
Could this be my last song
It never seems like there's another one to come
Will this be my last song
I feel like maybe I'm done
Can I come up with another one
I just need one more song
We don't know how long we have
Or when we'll go away
Our time here is precious
We shouldn't waste day
I'll be grateful ‘til I die
And humble as I can be
Could this be my last song
It never seems like there's another one to come
Will this be my last song
I feel like maybe I'm done
Can I come up with another one
I just need one more song
This won't be my last song
I feel like there's another one to come
This won't be my last song
When I feel like maybe I'm done
I always come up with another one
I'll just write one more song
I just wrote one more song
