Tree blows against my window, there's a storm brewing in my heart,
Watching credits roll on a late night T.V. show,
Lonely street light peeking through the cracks in my 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 the nail,
Leaving me in what's become a lonely prison cell.
I thought always meant forever,
I guess you couldn't play second fiddle to my guitar,
like an old man drinking down at the tavern,
well I was one for the road and now you're headed on back home.
I met you at a party, seems like only yesterday,
We were falling in love and living to chase our dreams,
I gave you flowers on Valentines, and I had a strong feeling deep 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 only forget.
In a hotel room down in Austin after another one night show,
I caught your silhouette creeping 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.
And I guess always means forever,
And I won't make you play second fiddle to my guitar,
Like an old man drinking down at the tavern,
We're one for the road and we're headed on back home,
Yeah one for the road and we're headed on back home,
One for the road and we're headed on back ho--me.
