I
can’t believe I’ve killed another night in this damn bar.
I’ll have one for the road, and
then I’m gonna look for my car.
That guy in the mirror doesn’t
know this face he sees.
Can’t a man finish his drink in
peace?
Hell, no, you ain’t takin’ my
keys.
Give me one for the road.
Don’t say I can’t have any
more.
Pour me one for the road.
I’ve always made it home
before.
When I was a young man, I
thought I’d make it to the top.
Then my troubles began, and
they just never seemed to stop.
My life ain’t turnin’ out the
way I thought it would be.
All my dreams are just a
memory.
Everything happens to me.
Give me one for the road.
This ain’t what I deserve.
I need one for the road
Just to steady my nerve.
I smoked too many
cigarettes and drank too much booze.
But look at me now, and tell me
what I’ve got to lose.
Today is hopeless, and the
future don’t look so sweet.
But I can tell myself I’ve got
it beat
When I’m out on the street.
Give me one for the road.
Nobody cares how I feel.
But I still own the road
When I’m behind the wheel.
Give me one for the road.
Don’t worry, I’ll be all right.
But if you’re on the road,
You better drive real careful
tonight.
