One For The Road lyrics

Tree blows against my window
There`s a storm brewin` in my heart
Watchin` credits roll on a late night TV show
Lonely street light peekin`
Through the cracks in the 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 a nail
Leavin` me in what`s become
A lonely prison cell

Chorus
I thought always meant forever
Guess you couldn`t play second fiddle to my guitar
Like an old man drinkin` down at the tavern
I was one for the road now your headed on back home

I met you at a party seems like only yesterday
We were fallin` in love and livin` to chase our dreams
I gave you flowers on Valentines
And I had a strong feelin` deep and 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 would only forget
A hotel room down in Austin
After another one night show
I caught your silouette creepin` 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
And I thought always meant forever
And I won`t make you play second fiddle to my guitar
Like an old man drinkin` down at the tavern
I was one for the road and you headed on back home
