Ann Hart Poet I do not know?

~~~ 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

Please don't drink and drive. 
In memory of those who have lost their lives by drunk drivers
