One More For The Road

(hummmm) (ahhhh) One more for the road,

that's what I said

Now I'm living in a room full of ghosts

instead

The asphalt was slick,

the headlights were dim

I had the devil's own bottle right up to the brim

I heard the metal scream,

I heard the glass break

Now I'm wide awake

with a lifetime of ache

Oh, the whiskey runs warm but my bed is so cold

I traded my darlings

for silver and gold

Now the highway is silent,

the black water deep

And I am the monster who never can sleep

There's two small wooden crosses

out under the pine

The names on the stone

should have been mine

I hold onto her picture

till my knuckles turn white

Begging the lord to take me tonight

I steered the wheel

but the bottle held the reign

Nothing on earth

can wash out this stain (ahhhh!)

Forgive me, my sweet darlings...

I'm so sorry...
