That Last Laugh

Ran into a guy who used to laugh at all my plans

Same old haircut, same beer in his hand He said,

"Hey, you're still doing that thing?" I said,

"Yeah, funny how the years just keep rolling" He said,

"I thought you'd give it up by now" I said,

"You thought a lot of things somehow" He gave that little smile

I remember too well Like he was waiting for a story about

how I fell

I could tell him what I've done

Could explain where I've been

But there's something kinda beautiful

About just letting him think

The last laugh looks good on me

I don't need you to agree

You can keep your little jokes I'll keep doing what I please

I ain't standing here to prove What you never cared to see

Go ahead and have your moment

The last laugh looks good on me

He said,

"You got lucky, that's all"

I said, "Sure, whatever you say"

Funny how a thousand early mornings Get called luck at the end

of the day

He asked me what I'm making

Asked me if I'm doing fine

I said, "Man, I got a life to live And you're wasting

both our time"

I used to need the recognition

Used to dream about this scene

Now I'm standing right in front of him

And it doesn't mean a thing

The last laugh looks good on me

I don't need you to agree

You can keep your little jokes I'll keep doing what I please

I ain't standing here to prove What you never cared to see

Go ahead and have your moment

The last laugh looks good on me

Truth is,

some of those old words Stayed with me for years

Made me question every good thing Made me listen to my fears

But I finally learned the difference Between winning and being seen

And I don't need his permission To be proud of what I've

been

The last laugh looks good on me

I don't need you to agree You can keep your little jokes

I'll keep doing what I please

I ain't standing here to prove What you never cared to see

Go ahead and have your moment

The last laugh looks good on me

He said,

"Well, good luck with all that."

I said, "Thanks, man." (hahaha)
