One for the Road

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 so 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 guess always means 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 now we're headed on back home
