One For The Road — текст песни (Pat Green)

by Pat Green
?1995 Dead Horse Music (BMI)

Tree blows against my window, there`s a storm brewing in my heart, watching credits roll on a late night T.V. show, Lonely street light peeking through the cracks in my window shade, after all that he`s seen I wonder if he truly knows, did he watch her when she slammed the door, like a hammer against the nail, leaving me in what`s become a lonely prison cell.

Chorus

I thought always meant forever,
I guess you couldn`t play second fiddle to my guitar,
like an old man drinking down at the tavern,
well I was one for the road and now you`re headed on back home.

I met you at a party, seems like only yesterday, we were falling in love and living to chase our dreams, I gave you flowers on Valentines, and I had a strong feeling deep down inside, that someday we`d make a home and a family, I`d say I`m sorry in a heartbeat if you would only let me, I could lean to forgive if you only forget. In a hotel room down in Austin after another one night show, I caught your silhouette creeping down the street, under a moonlight glow, and as you took my hand, so went all my pain, we stepped right off the platform and caught the midnight train.

Chorus
