Last Chance To Turn Around Lyrics

Artist: Gene Pitney

The wheels of my old car are a'turnin, burnin' up the highway
Tonight that girl of mine will be yearnin' for not learnin' to see things my way
She hurt me for the very last time, I'm not hangin' around
I'll show her I can leave her behind
I'm gettin' out of town (I'm gettin' out of town)
I won't back down (I won't back down)
I won't back down (I won't back down)

Last exit to Brooklyn, last chance to turn around
Last exit to Brooklyn, gonna keep these wheels of mine coverin' ground.

Last night I caught that girl lyin', tryin' to deceive me
And now all of these tears she's cryin' I'm not buyin' you better believe me
She swore that she was mine alone, our love would never die
I'm leavin' now for parts unknown
I saw her with that guy (I saw her with that guy)
That's the reason why (that's the reason why)
I'll be passin' by (I'll be passin' by)

The last exit to Brooklyn, the last chance to turn around
The last exit to Brooklyn, gonna keep these wheels of mine coverin' ground
On the last exit to Brooklyn, the last chance to turn around
The last exit to Brooklyn, the last chance to turn around
The last

A LONNNGG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR, FAR AWAY...In later years I would meet Gene and shared this piece of micro-trivia with him.

Loved this song back in the '60's as a teenager - Gene's best song, in my humble opinion. Always sang, "Last TAXI to Brooklyn" though - a mondegreen on my part??

I remember a local band in the Mpls area, "The Underbeats" doing this song in the late 60's. Loved the song and "The Underbeats".
