Just One More For The Road

Just one more for the road

 

J ust one more for the road as it's just the two of

U s now my bottle and me sitting here by the sea

S ure I could put you down if I really wanted to

T he problem is me and no one can save me but myself

 

O ver and over again I come to talk with you my friend

N o one else understands me the way you do

E veryone always leaves me but never you

 

M y hands tremble as I put the bottle to my lips

O ver and over again I come to talk with you my friend

R eally don't know why maybe I like the taste

E veryone always leaves me but never you

 

F or old times sake I'll have just one more for the road

O ut of my mind sometimes you drive me out of my mind

R emembering the past and I seem to dwell there quite often

 

T he only one that understands me is you and you destroy me

H eaven knows if I shall ever put you down and toss you away

E verybody leaves me but never you

 

R ecovery is a road I am so afraid to travel for fear of being alone

O kay so it's just my bottle and me sitting here by the sea

A nd I'm sailing with her as she devastates me as I become as

D runk a man can be after all it's just one more for the road

One more what? Death, Night of destruction, DUI night in jail? God, this makes me so mad to think of the inconsiderates who force tehir addictions on the innocents! Well done!

One more for the road and my best friend lost her mother to a drunk driver that did not have the brains to get a ride home and not drive himself..I hate drunks, one nearly cost me my life..Spouse abuse..God bless..Valentine

Very clever in the design here - great tale without forcing to keep the pattern. Very good accounting of the logic of a drunk! Very good depiction of the cycle of drinking and the sad and lonely road it usually is! Awesome write here..... Will put in favs
