"The Last Time" is a song written by Kris Kristofferson and recorded by Johnny Cash for his 1980 album Rockabilly Blues.
Released in 1980 as a single (Columbia 11-11399, with "Rockabilly Blues (Texas 1955)" on the B-side) from that album,[2][3][4] the song reached number 85 on U.S. Billboard's country chart for the week of December 6.[5][6]
"The Last Time" was the first Kris Kristofferson Cash had recorded in six years. The way his voice slips into it, like a body into a comfortable chair, suggests he shouldn't have waited so long. (In fact, a few years prior, the two had discussed recording an album together, where Cash would sing Kristofferson songs, and Kristofferson Cash's, but the album never came to be.)

Kristofferson also recorded the song himself, his version appears on the 1981 album To the Bone.
