One For The Road

[Verse 1]
It's a two-lane, two miles
'Til you see the next red-brick ranch house
It's the way in, way out
And the middle of a little map-dot town

[Pre-Chorus]
My grandaddy'd be spinning in his grave
If he knew that dirt was gonna be paved
And honestly, I never thought I'd see the day

[Chorus]
So this one's for the road that I grew up on
My old man taught me the clutch on
At seventeen, fell in love in a truck on it
Got stuck on it a few Friday nights
No matter how far in this big old world I go
It's always right there, leading me back home
So this one's for the road

[Verse 2]
It's got fields on both sides
Bullet holes in all of the stop signs
It ain't a real smooth ride
Better shoot a wave when you drive by

[Pre-Chorus]
Might get your tailgate a little dusty
When it rains, gets a little muddy
And they're about to change the things that make you country

[Chorus]
So this one's for the road that I grew up on
My old man taught me the clutch on
At seventeen, fell in love in a truck on it
Got stuck on it a few Friday nights
No matter how far in this big old world I go
It's always right there, leading me back home
So this one's for the road

[Bridge]
Had to come back and ride it one last time
Before the blacktop pours at the end of my drive
Me and the boys are gonna raise one up tonight

[Chorus]
And say this one's for the road that I grew up on
My old man taught me the clutch on
At seventeen, fell in love in a truck on it
Got stuck on it a few Friday nights
No matter how far in this big old world I go
It's always right there, leading me back home
So this one's for the road

[Outro]
This one's for the road
