lyrics

When the candle’s burnin down, the wine glasses are low
And the waiter comes around to ask if we’re ready to go
And she looks me in the eye, I just don’t want this to end
So I look at him and I say, “One last drink, my friend”

Give me one last drink, give me one for the road
We ain’t in no hurry, ain’t got nowhere to go
One last drink, yeah give me one for the road
What could go wrong, I’ve done it so many times before

So now we’re cruising down the highway, she’s got her hand on my knee
And I look in the rearview, what’s that I see?
Bright red and blue, a cruiser flashing his lights
He pulls me over and asks me, sir have you been drinking to night

I just had one last drink, yeah I had one for the road
Cause we weren’t in no hurry, ain’t got nowhere to go
One last drink, yeah give me one for the road
What could go wrong, I’ve done it so many times before

So he makes me walk a line and try to say backwards ABCs
Is it T or R that comes right before Z
Before I know it I’m sitting in his back seat
And she’s in the rear view yelling and cursing at me

I just had one last drink yeah I hadone for the road
Cause we weren’t in no hurry, ain’t got nowhere to go
We had one last drink, yeah one for the road
What could go wrong, I’ve done it so many times before

So now I’m in the holding tank some big guy gives me evil eye
I ask him what he’s looking at, and immediately ask myself why
So he walks across the cell, and picks me up by the hair
He’s got mean left and then he kicks me you know where

I just had one last drink yeah one for the road
Why’d I drive away, I didn’t have nowhere to go
I’ll never see her again, it won’t matter even so
Because of one last drink, yeah one for the road
