[Verse 1] The band is packing up their horns tonight The ballroom's empty but the mood feels right You’re by the exit with your coat in hand And I’ve got one last song that I hadn’t planned [Verse 2] The waiter’s sweeping up our second chance The candles flicker like they want to dance You say "it's late" but your eyes say stay So let me steal three minutes of your way [Pre-Chorus] Before you go, let the music play One more chorus before the break of day If this is goodbye, then let it sound true With a bass line walking me back to you Pour me one more for the road, darling One more slow dance before the morning Let the city sleep, let the streetlights glow If you’re leaving, leave me one more for the road[Chorus] [Verse 3] Your lipstick left a note on my coffee cup A little red promise I’m not giving up The piano player nods like he understands And hits that chord with those same old hands [Pre-Chorus] Before you go, let the music play One more chorus before the break of day If this is goodbye, then let it sound true With a trumpet crying the same as I do Pour me one more for the road, darling One more slow dance before the morning Let the city sleep, let the streetlights glow If you’re leaving, leave me one more for the road[Chorus] **** We don’t need forever, just a couple more bars To say what we couldn’t beneath the stars So hold my hand like it’s a secret vow And let the last note be now[Bridge] Pour me one more for the road, darling Pour me one more for the road, darling[Final Chorus] And if the sun comes up before you do I’ll still be here, saving one more for you[Outro]
