Me and Julie Ray got married, we were both just 16
                                         C
Quit school and took what work we could find
                                    G
We just got tired of working hard, wanted to change the scenes
                                          C
So we packed our clothes and left it all behind

C                                G
We got off the Trailways bus in, downtown Seattle
                                              C
I found a job drivin' a cab and I worked all night
                                    G
While that taxi meter clicked away, I was a-losin' my Julie Ray
                                     C
To the honky-tonkin' bright Seattle lights

[Chorus]
          C                          G
Will the last one to leave Seattle, please turn out the lights
                                 C
Those lights are the reason why she ain't here tonight
                         G
If you see her tell her, I left for home tonight
                                                       C
Will the last one to leave Seattle please turn out the lights

Seattle made Val Dolsta look like a wide place in the road
                                             C
The brights light and the night life really turned her on
                                   G
If those lights go out some night, I still want that girl to know
                                     C
A light will always burn for her at home

[Chorus]
         C         G
Will the last one to leave Seattle
                          C
Mmmmmm mmmm turn out the lights
