One More for the Road
Jerome McComb Lyrics

I look back on the good times we had out on the road.
Reflecting on past enjoyable experiences traveling on tour.

We traveled a million miles
Having traveled great distances during their time on the road.

And done a thousand shows.
Having performed a large number of shows during their touring career.

And the nights we had together,
Remembering nights spent with fellow band members.

Just kind of burned in to my mind.
Memories of good times together have left a lasting impression.

It reminds me of good times.
Reflecting on past experiences evokes positive memories.

Like the night in Colorado when the bus broke down.
Recalling a specific incident when their tour bus experienced mechanical trouble.

Bill and Jeff had to walk three miles to some old town.
Two members of the band were required to walk a long distance to obtain assistance.

Grab a ride and make a phonecall,
They had to find transportation and communicate with the rest of the group.

Man we barrely made the show.
Despite the difficulties, the group still managed to perform the show.

It's just one more for the road.
Their touring lifestyle has led to many such incidents, to be expected.

Thank you for the memories,
Expressing gratitude for the positive moments experienced while on tour.

I wouldn't change a thing.
Despite the difficulties, the band members would not alter their experiences in any way.

But I wish I had a dollar,
Reflecting on the many times they'd been asked for favors by others.

For every time that my phone rang.
Recalling the frequency at which they were called by people asking for assistance.

At four-thirty in the morning,
Being called at unreasonable hours.

And it's Ron stuck at the bar.
Recalling a specific instance of a band member finding himself in a difficult situation.

Wondering if I knew where he might have parked his car.
The nature of the situation was likely humorous or absurd.

Or that night when Larrys spit-cup
Another amusing incident involving a member of the group.

Got put into the fridge.
The unhygienic item was inexplicably placed in the refrigerator.

Bill took a big-ol' drink he thought that coke was his.
Another band member mistakenly consumed the contents of the offending cup.

And he spent the next three hours like he drank the water of Mexico.
Bill's reaction was highly unpleasant and should be laughable in retrospect.

It's just one more for the road!
Another humorous incident to be expected as a result of the band's touring lifestyle.

Twenty years worth of stories, rolling thru these towns.
Reflecting on many years of touring and the stories that resulted from those experiences.

Shuttin' every "Honky-tonk" and "Cracker-Barrel" down.
Recalling instances of the band being so popular as to force establishments to close shop early.

Now it's us four on a barstool swapping jokes and telling lies.
Bandmates are now enjoying a meal and sharing stories in a casual environment.

It's time to go, "Let's Get'R Done" do this one last time.
Though it's coming to an end, the band would like to have one last great moment together.

Cause I need one more for the road,
Desiring one more good experience together before the band goes their separate ways.

Before we have to go.
Acknowledging that it was the end of the band's touring career together.

Cause I don't know the next time we'll be comin' back.
Uncertainty about when they'll be able to reunite and make music once again.

To all our fans from town to town,
Expressing gratitude to fans that made the band's touring experiences enjoyable.

We thank you for coming' down,
Continuing on the theme of gratitude.

Having one more for the road.
Desiring one final positive experience with fans before departing.

All good things come to an end
Reflecting on the inevitability that eventually all good things must come to a conclusion.

So before we have to leave my friend.
Taking the opportunity before they leave to savor the moment and enjoy each other's company.

Let's have one more for the road,
Desiring one more enjoyable experience together before their touring career together ends.

Just want one more for.
Reiterating the desire for one final positive experience as a group.

The road!
Emphatic conclusion to the song emphasizing the highs and lows of their touring career together.
