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
