Testo One For The Road

(Pat Green)

Tree blows against my window, there's a storm brewing in my heart
Watching credits roll on a late night TV 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 old 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 Valentine's
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 learn to forgive if you could 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
