One For The Road

The last car ride home

The radio sang low

I stared through melted glass out the window pane

And it rained

Red streets lights all aglow

Nervous words stuck in my throat

I pushed my hair away from my face to say

It's better this way

Every memory that went dull became sharp

And sank like an anchor in my heart

The silence between us was so loud

Saying it's too late now

You looked over the wheel

First time I ever saw you cry

Grabbed my chin and said if it's gonna be the last time

Give me something before I go

One more, One more, One more

For the road

For the road

You pulled up to drop me off

Gave me that same old nod

Just like the first night you met me

Lifetimes ago

Before I step out in the porch light

I grab your hand squeeze it three times

One for each word in I love you

I drop your hand but I still do

You looked into my eyes

First time I ever saw you cry

Grabbed my chin and said if it's gonna be the last time

Give me something before I go

One more, One more, One more

For the road

For the road

My voice hoarse from the back and forth

Jaw sore

Palms torn

I tried

But I can't anymore

I don't wanna forget

You said it under your breath

One more, One more, One more

You looked into my eyes

First time I ever saw you cry

Grabbed my chin and said if it's gonna be the last time

Give me something before I go

One more, One more, One more

You looked into my eyes

First time I ever saw you cry

Grabbed my chin and said if it's gonna be the last time

Give me something before I go

One more, One more, One more

For the road

For The road
