Lyrics The Last Thing on My Mind - Dolly Parton

Mm, mm

It's a lesson too late for the learnin'
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye, my soul is turnin'
In your hand, in your hand

Are you going away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could've loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Mmm
As we walk along, my thoughts are tumblin'
'Round and 'round, 'round and 'round
Underneath our feet are someplace rumblin'
Underground, underground

Are you going away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could've loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Mm
Mm, mm

I've got reason a-plenty for goin'
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growin'
Please don't go, please don't go

Are you going away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could've loved you better, I didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind
