One For the Road Lyrics by Preston Cooper
I got a mama, direct line to Jesus
They taking care of my soul
I got an old man, he sings like Bocephus
He taught me how to rock ‘n’ roll
I got a highway running through my backyard
‘Cause Uncle Sam had somewhere to go
Don’t you know
I got two in the chamber if you’re keeping score
Three on the tree and four on the floor
I had nine lives, got a couple to go
I got five in the cooler and one for the road
I got a mix breed in the shotgun seat
But both gonna run ’til they’re dead
Ain’t got nothing but a house on a hill
At least that’s what the preacher said
I got a day that ends when it gets dark
But starts when the rooster crows
Don’t you know
I got two in the chamber if you’re keeping score
Three on the tree and four on the floor
I had nine lives, got a couple to go
I got five in the cooler and one for the road
(One for the road)
I got a guitar, it’s seen better days
Still got some stories to tell
‘Bout the good old days, but I changed my ways
Mama happy I ain’t going to hell
I got two in the chamber if you’re keeping score
Three on the tree and four on the floor
I had nine lives, got a couple to go
I got five in the cooler and one for the road
One for the road (One for the road, yeah)
Mm
Ride, oh
