I hung around the honky tonks and taverns They've always been my home away from home And that's the reason why my baby's left me That's the reason why my darling's gone She must understand I'm lost without her My life has been a nightmare since she left She must believe I'm so ashamed I hurt her That what I've done I'm not proud of myself Make that one for the road a cup of coffee She's giving me another chance tonight Make that one for the road a cup of coffee When I see her everything must be alright With her help I think I'm gonna make it I'm not strong enough without her I don't think But it's late already and if she don't show up Forget the coffee and just pour another drink Make that one for the road a cup of coffee She's giving me another chance tonight Make that one for the road a cup of coffee Cause when I see her everything must be alright
