One for the Road Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blacktop bandit, concrete soul
Empty-handed, but I ain't goin’ out like that
Homemade whiskey, homegrown smoke
Ain't too picky to take a buzz from a paper sack

[Chorus]
Give me one for the road
Give me one to wet my whistle and one to lighten my load
God knows where I'm goin’, got a long way to go
So give me one for the road

[Verse 2]
Small-town angel, rebel eyes
Half-stoned hazel, only one in the world like that
Turquoise tank top, red-hot lips
Lay it on me like I ain't ever comin' back

[Chorus]
Give me one for the road
Give me one to wet my whistle and one to lighten my load
God knows where I'm goin', got a long way to go
So give me one for the road

[Bridge]
Give me one kick drum with the heartbeat thump
Straight through the four on the floor
Let the band kick in with a guitar bend
And give 'em just a little bit more
When the bass starts hummin', the place starts jumpin'
Rattlin’ the roof and doors
I’ma come in strong with a country song
The way they made 'em before
[Chorus]
So give me one for the road
Give me one to wet my whistle and one to lighten my load
God knows where I’m goin', got a long way to go
So give me one for the road

[Outro]
Give me one for the road
Give me one for the road
Give me one for the road

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
