Alright. I want to ask y'all something. You ever been somewhere — end of the night, everybody knows it's probably time — And nobody says a word about it? … Tab's still open. Somebody pours another one. Couple people who were already standing… just sit back down. … Nobody called it. Nobody voted. The night just… decided. … This one's for every room that ever did that. This one's about the nights worth not ending.
Lights came up but nobody blinked
Tabs got closed but the drinks didn't
Couple folks stood like they might head out
Didn't get very far with it
Somebody laughed, said "we should go soon"
Nobody argued, nobody did
Door swung open, let the night roll in
Then it closed and we settled again
Last call came and it came and went
Like it didn't mean what it usually meant
One more round showed up anyway
Nobody asked, nobody paid
Same stories starting back at the top
Same two chords from a speaker half-shot
Time slid sideways, lost its place
Nobody checking it anyway
One more for the road to nowhere (Crowd: one more, one more)
One more while the night's still there
One more like we ain't going anywhere
Not yet (Crowd: not yet)
Chairs turned in but we turned them back
Someone lit up what the bar staff lacked
Couple goodbyes that didn't land
Just kinda faded where they began
You said something I didn't catch
I leaned in close and we stayed like that
Whole room thinned but we didn't notice
Felt like the night just chose us
One more for the road to nowhere (Crowd: one more, one more)
One more while the night's still there
One more like we ain't going anywhere
Not yet (Crowd: not yet)
We know exactly what this is
Nobody's in a hurry to admit it
Right on the edge of leaving it
And staying just a little bit
One more for the road to nowhere (Crowd: one more, one more)
One more while the night's still there
One more like we ain't going anywhere
Not yet (Crowd: not yet, not yet)
Don't come back once it's gone like it is
One more for the road to nowhere
Said we were leaving 'bout an hour ago… Yeah… …one more for the road
Said we were leaving 'bout an hour ago…
Yeah…
…one more for the road
