One More Song

J. Tempchin

I was singin' in a bar in San Diego
And the clock on the wall said
Time to go
And the old man in the chair
By the fire
Said, "Would you boys mind playin'
One more?"

One more song for the night gone by
One more song for the long ride home
One more song before I walk out the door
One more song before I'm alone

Me and my buddies, we were known
As the Silverados
I was leavin' town
For good that night
So, we sang him one more in
The Old Sombrero Bar
Beneath the broken
Neon light

One more song for the night gone by
One more song for the good times and the bad
For the faces of strangers and the
Voices of friends
One more song for the times we had

So we sang him a sad and a sweet one
And we sang it so soft
And so high
And his tired eyes
They smiled goodbye
When the waitress said,
"Closin' time"
I thought, it's funny the places
Life will lead you
As I was packin' away my bass guitar
I was singin' this song as the road
Raced along, and the empty night
Swallowed my car

One more song for the night gone by
One more song for the things we've done
One more song for this road
I'm traveling on
One more song for the time to come
For the times to come
