One For The Road

Tree blows against my window There's a storm brewin' in my heart Watchin' credits roll on a late night TV show Lonely street light peekin' Through the cracks in the 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 a nail Leavin' me in what's become A lonely prison cell Chorus I thought always meant forever Guess you couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar Like an old man drinkin' down at the tavern I was one for the road so your headed on back home I met you at a party seems like only yesterday We were fallin' in love and livin' to chase our dreams I gave you flowers on Valentines And I had a strong feelin' deep and 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 learn to forgive if you would only forget A hotel room down in Austin After another one night show I caught your silouette creepin' 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 And I guess always means forever And I won't make you play second fiddle to my guitar Like an old man drinkin' down at the tavern I was one for the road now we're headed on back home
