Lyrics
1/ I've stumbled out a dozen rowdy bar rooms
And that was only in these last few days
I've wakened up on far too many benches
Fought my shadow wining second place
I'm going home I know my family needs me
When I return I'll stand tall and true
And when I'm asked "just where the hell have you been"
I'll lie of course that's what I always do
Chorus
Just one for the road
You can twist my arm
Just one for old times
One more can do no harm.
2/ I've made life long friends with people I would normally
Never even give the time of day
I flirted with a barmaid known as Nancy
I used a line or two I can't believe I'd say
It's slowly dawning on me I'm a drunkard
I'll have to sort myself out if I can
I need to understand there's something better
Stop pretending that I'm not a family man
Chorus +
So I'm running back as fast as my conscience takes me
I realise how low a man can sink
Running home as fast as my conscience takes me
But I'll maybe stop in here for one last drink, (cause it's)
Chorus x 2
