One More Song
One More Song: Musical Reflections on Moments and Farewells
Lyrics
I feel the lights come up on a dim-lit crowd
I observe the lights brightening in a dimly lit crowd.
I hear the bartender call for one last round
I hear the bartender signaling for one final round.
I see a girl take a hand & stumble on out
I witness a girl holding hands and stumbling out.
Wait for a taxi to whisk them away
They wait for a taxi to take them away.
From a corner I've watched this all go down
From a corner, I've observed everything happening.
I've seen the beer get spilled when the girls spin round
I've seen beer spill as girls spin around.
They throw crumpled up dollars into my guitar case now
People throw crumpled dollars into my guitar case, asking for more songs.
& ask me "man, what else can you play?"
They inquire, "man, what else can you play?"
I'll give 'em one more song for the road
I decide to play one more song for their journey.
I'll give 'em one more song for the road
I choose to play another song as they leave.
Cause it's getting too late, and I'm getting too old
Due to the lateness and my aging, I feel compelled to play one more song.
I'll give 'em one more song for the road
I offer one last song for their journey.
See their eyes light up as the chords ring out
The audience's eyes light up as the chords resonate.
Hear their voices calling to the midnight hour
I hear their voices calling as midnight approaches.
Well, they mumble through the verses, but the chorus hits loud
Though they mumble through the verses, the chorus resonates loudly.
It's just like a memory, and I wish I could stay
It feels like a memory, and I wish I could stay longer.
To give 'em one more song for the road
I play one more song for their journey.
I'll give 'em one more song for the road
Another song is given as it's getting too late for everyone to go home.
Cause it's getting too late, we all gotta get home
As it's late, and we all need to get home, I provide one more song.
I'll give 'em one more song for the road
I give them one final song as they prepare to leave.
See them shuffle through the door as the clock runs out
People shuffle through the door as time runs out.
So I turn off the amps, pull the speakers to the ground
I turn off the amps and bring the speakers to the ground.
Me and the bartender, we take one more whiskey down
The bartender and I share one last whiskey as I wait to get paid.
As I pack up and wait to get paid
I pack up and wait for my payment.
Give 'em one more song for the road
One more song is given for their journey.
I'll give 'em one more song for the road
Another song is played as they depart.
If it's my last night, if it's my last show
If it's my last night or show, I still offer one more song.
I'll give 'em one more song
Even if it's my final night, I provide one more song.
Yeah, one more song
Yes, one more song is given.
One more song for the road
One more song is offered for their journey.
