Alvis Edgar "Buck" Owens, Jr. (August 12, 1929 – March 25, 2006) was an American musician, singer, songwriter and band leader who had 21 No. 1 hits on the Billboard country music charts with his band the Buckaroos. They pioneered what came to be called the Bakersfield sound, a reference to Bakersfield, California, the city Owens called home and from which he drew inspiration for what he preferred to call American music.
While Owens originally used fiddle and retained pedal steel guitar into the 1970s, his sound on records and onstage was always more stripped-down and elemental, incorporating elements of rock and roll. His signature style was based on simple storylines, infectious choruses, a twangy electric guitar, an insistent rhythm supplied by a drum track placed forward in the mix, and high two-part harmonies featuring Owens and his guitarist Don Rich.
Beginning in 1969, Owens co-hosted the TV series Hee Haw with Roy Clark. He left the cast in 1986. The accidental death of Rich, his best friend, in 1974 devastated him for years and abruptly halted his career until he performed with Dwight Yoakam in 1988. Owens died on March 25, 2006 shortly after performing at his Crystal Palace restaurant, club and museum in Bakersfield.

I've been waiting for my last chance with you
Something big is on your mind like a spring you must unwind
So I'm waiting for my last chance with you
I'm preparing for tomorrow when you'll break the news to me
I dare not show my sorrow it's not a shoulder that I need
I've a need for you to love me and I tear somebody new
So I'm waiting for my last chance with you
[ steel ]
I've rehearsed the scene all over pretending you were here
I've been practicing the presence of you
I've been wondering how you'd tell me and planning what I'd do
While thinking bout my last chance with you
If I don't win you tomorrow something tells me someone will
Wish I knew where I could borrow some love making skill
I've a need for you to love me and I tear somebody new
