Take A Good Look Lyrics
Take a good look at the last time you’ll see me,
Hanging around here.
I spent all my money filling the tank up,
Or I’d by you a beer.
Does anyone know what happened to the better part of the last ten years?
The pictures I’ve been packing up all seem to be taken right here.
Take a good look at the last time you’ll see me,
Bummin’ up here.
I hate to think that I’m gonna get lonely,
Living down there.
Do any of you lovely ladies feel like drinking a little closer to the ocean?
It’s getting late, and I’m starting to think, just maybe,
I’m in no condition.
Take a good look at the last time you’ll see me,
Asleep in my car.
Laugh clown, laugh, look at Joey,
He didn’t get far.
Does anyone know what happened to the better part of the last ten years?
The pictures I’ve been sleeping on all seem to be taken right here.
Right here.

This song is so good, it's a great example of how great acoustic songs can be. This song is so sad, and the vocals and guitar are able to just perfectly conveya kind of lonely feeling that this song has. It is awesome.
I think the song is just about leaving the nest. Getting ready to leave where you grew up and move onto the next chapter in your life, and at the same time, the fear of what the next chapter holds. Speaking as someone who came very close to being a teenage runaway (my friends convinced me to stay at the last moment) this song hits home; the feeling of saying goobye to your closest friends, the fear of being on your own with no one to help you, looking at the pictures of being younger, this song is almost the exact feeling for when i almost left, it even brings back the memory of staring at the "welcome to Avon Lake" sign, almost terified to even step across the train tacks marking the boarder of my town.
