~~~ One More For the Road ~~

~~~ One More For The Road ~~ He sat at the bar sipping away Trying to drown his troubles that day Little did he know what lay ahead And a little girl would soon be dead Later that evening he was still there But now he was drunk and had no care He forgot his troubles and danced so free He was stumbling and could barely see One more for the road he shouted loud As his voice was heard over the crowd One more for the road for this free man As he stumbled around, could not stand He left the club not feeling a pain His speech was slurred as he loudly sang He did not even see the little girl Until his truck stopped with a bang He could see from his cell window A hearse making a line And cars following slowly behind As he tried to remember with his foggy mind One for the road he remembers that day Now for this he will sadly pay Now he just sits there with only fear Thinking of that life to took so dear Remember this story if you must drink One for the road could make you not think It could cost you all that you have Think of the life this girl should have had Written by Ann Hart Copyrighted January 2, 2003 Please don't drink and drive.
