lyrics
First With The Story But The Last To Know
You join us live here at the station,
the time is 9 o’clock pm.
There is no cause for celebration
’cause your leaving me for him.
I should give you all a warning:
on any other night I’d say,
“Thanks for joining us this evening”
but I’m on my own today.
Chorus
In this reporter’s opinion,
I can not stand to see her go.
I watch over my dominion;
first with the story…
…but the last to know.
There may arsonists in Texas,
and with the fires that they start,
they’re causes blazes down in old San Antone
but there’s a burning in my heart.
Sporting heroes may know glory;
they stay on par for the course.
But where she used to file her stories,
she’s just filing for divorce.
Chorus
In this reporter’s opinion,
I can not stand to see her go.
I watch over my dominion;
first with the story…
…but the last to know.
The news will always keep on changing,
the autocue will always roll.
But in my heart a different story
tops the headlines of my soul.
There are riots and there’s madness,
a whole rich tapestry of news.
Well that don’t cover up the sadness;
left behind is just the blues.
