Pat Green - One For The Road lyrics

rate me

Tree blows against my window,

there's a storm brewing in my heart,

watching credits roll on a late night T.V. show,

Lonely street light peeking through the cracks in my 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 the nail,

leaving me in what's become a lonely prison cell.

Chorus

I thought always meant forever,

I guess you couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar,

like an old man drinking down at the tavern,

well I was one for the road and now you're headed on back home.

I met you at a party, seems like only yesterday,

we were falling in love and living to chase our dreams,

I gave you flowers on Valentines,

and I had a strong feeling deep 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 lean to forgive if you only forget.

In a hotel room down in Austin after another one night show,

I caught your silhouette creeping 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
