“I’ll take one for me my friend,
And one for the road”
It’s always good to forget about
This heavy, heavy load<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I get to stay a while in these
Backwater bars
Where no one knows my name it’s just me
And the beer in my jar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing stories of older times
Of road river or air
It’s always good to be spending time
With the people who care<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So easy to pour your heart to a stranger
But never to yourself
Then you’re up there with your bottle of Jack
Coming down from the same old shelf<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I’ll take one for the road my friend
And make my bed down there
I never asked for anything
So please don’t – don’t stop or stare<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the bottle’s empty and all that’s left is
A liquor drenched smile that became bereft
Doesn’t mean your heart is full
Just time to move on just like the rest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing stories of older times
On road river or air
It’s always good to be spending time
With the people down there

Have you met my friend Bobby?
He’s a drifter just like me
He’s been gone since the winter
The winter of ’93<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now my glass is dry and I should go
To a place yet where I don’t know
It’s time again to get up but maybe
Just maybe One For The Road<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been good to spend time
