lyrics

one for the road
i guess it's time to go
try on another flow
another way to be

look inside
that ancient mystery
not another strategy
to get us to next year

hold your ground
take another stand
don't pull another strand
unravel as we go

disappoint
standing in between
another faded dream
and another life

we sing
we try
we chase
the sky
we stand
heads high

one for the road
you can't get there from here
so have another beer
before it's time to go

looking past
a bunch of what could be's
and unsung melodies
unvanquished enemies

chasing ghosts
nostalgia pulls me in
escaping all my sins
retreat into a dream

rip it up
so we can start anew
explore another view
and another life

we sing
we try
we chase
the sky
we stand
heads high
