Lyrics: I took a wrong turn down a dead-end street And fell into another bar Shook off the rain, pulled up a seat And drowned my weary heart An old man sat down next to me With years etched on his face He said “You better take it easy son, or you’ll never leave this place” I laughed and bought another drink, and a double for him too I told him all my struggles and the hell I’m going through The broken dreams, the things I’ve seen and the people I’ve let down He raised a glass and half a smile and bought another round And he said “Don’t tell me, coz you know I wrote the book And trouble’s been my shadow for so long But the words I wrote, they won’t do you any good You gotta live your life before you’re dead and gone” We laughed and cried for hours as we drank away the night He spoke of sins and celebrations, the stories of his life “Son, you think you’ve got it tough, as bad as it can get But I’ve seen my share of ups and downs and And you ain’t seen nothing yet…” And he said “Don’t tell me, coz you know I wrote the book And trouble’s been my shadow for so long But the words I wrote, they won’t do you any good You gotta live your life before you’re dead and gone” The lights go up We’ve had too much And everyone’s gone home But let’s have one more for the good times… And one more for the road, one more for the road…
