One More Round for the Road

One more round for the road (for the road)
One more song for the soul

Clock hit five and the boots hit gravel (hit gravel)
Paycheck thin but the stories travel
Old truck coughing like it knows my pain
Radio preaching through a little bit of rain
Mary brought ribs, Joe brought ice
Auntie brought cards and advice on life
We don't need rich, we don't need gold
Just one more round for the road

Raise it up for the long week gone (long week gone)
Raise it up for the holding on (holding on)

One more round for the road (for the road)
One more song for the soul (for the soul)
Raise your glass, raise your hand
Raise a little dust on this old land
We've been down, but we ain't broke (ain't broke)
We still laugh, we still hope (still hope)
Before we go back carrying the load
One more round for the road

Five years later and the porch still stands (still stands)
Same cracked steps, same calloused hands
We buried some and we raised some more
Put a new screen door on the same old door
Young ones working two jobs apiece
Still they show up Sunday for the same release
Money comes slow but the love comes loud
Can't put a price on a porch full of proud

Raise it up for the long week gone (long week gone)
Raise it up for the holding on (holding on)

One more round for the road (for the road)
One more song for the soul (for the soul)
Raise your glass, raise your hand
Raise a little dust on this old land
We've been down, but we ain't broke (ain't broke)
We still laugh, we still hope (still hope)
Before we go back carrying the load
One more round for the road

For the night-shift nurse (night-shift nurse)
For the farmer's son
For the single mom
Getting the homework done
For the empty chair
Where Grandpa used to sit
We saved you a plate
And we're still keeping it

One more round for the road (for the road)
One more song for the soul (for the soul)
Raise your glass, raise your hand
Raise a little dust on this old land
We've been down, but we ain't broke (ain't broke)
We still laugh, we still hope (still hope)
Before we go back carrying the load
One more round for the road

One more round
For the road
