ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD

I'll have one because the night is young

And one because it's old

One to try and buy some fun

And one because it's sold

I'll have one for the coming dark

And one more for the road

I'll have one for my wife and son

And one for burning coal

One because the job is done

And one to fill my bowl

I'll have one for the dying spark

And one more for the road

I'll have one because my heart is lead

And one because it's gold

One to help me lose my head

And one I'd like to hold

I'll have one for the shooting stars

And one more for the road

I'll have one to pour the plaster out

And one to break the mold

One to make me rave and shout

And one to stop me cold

I'll have one for the speeding cars

And one more for the road

I'll have one for the hand I'm dealt

And one because I fold

One to make me meek and mild

And one to make me bold

I'll have one for the circling shark

And one more for the road

I'll have one to stop the falling rain

And one to kill the cold

One to slow my swirling brain

And one to still my soul

I'll have one for the singing lark

And one more for the road
