If It’s the Last Thing I Do(Live at Freddie Jetts’s Pied Piper Club， L.A.， CA.) - Esther Phillips

I've been livin' on truck stop coffee
Cigarettes and vitamin C
It's a wonder that the Devil ain't caught me
I guess he's tired of playin' hide and seek
I've been drivin' like I'm struck by lightnin'
I think about you and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a trailer load of gasoline
If it's the last thing I do
If it takes me from tupelo to timbuktu
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every road block speed trap county cop
To get my hands on you
If it's the last thing I do
A box of chicken and a day old biscuit
Ain't nothin' left but a few old bones
I oughtta stop but I'm gonna risk it
Caffeine got me chewin' Styrofoam
Girl I'm callin' out of Kansas City
From a fillin' station telephone
Just had to tell you what I've been thinkin'
First thing I wanna do when I get home
If it's the last thing I do
If it takes me from tupelo to timbuktu
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every road block speed trap county cop
To get my hands on you
If it's the last thing I do
Well I've been drivin' like I'm struck by lightnin'
I think about you and I start to speed
I might as well be playin' with matches
In a trailer load of gasoline
If it's the last thing I do
If it takes me from tupelo to timbuktu
If it's the last thing I do
I'm gonna dodge every road block speed trap county cop
To get my hands on you
If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do
If it's the last thing I do
Ah yeah
