Lyrics

One for the Road

No I never knew you

We both went to different schools

Me so scared of the rules

You chasing all the girls

But it seems to me

We never grew up we just got ourselves free

Inventing what we could be

To buy all their curls

Get up and dance

Get up and smile

Get up and drink to the days

Ones that are gone in the shortest while

She was just eighteen she collapsed

And they took her away

She didn't make it for more than an hour

Then she was gone

What do you say?

When someone's been taken that way

Before they've had a day to fly in the sun

Get up and dance

Get up and smile

Get up and drink to the days

Ones that are gone in the shortest while

Get up and dance

Get up and smile

Get up and drink to the days

Ones who are gone in the shortest while

I'll sing my sorrow

I'll sing my sorrow

I'll sing my sorrow

I'll sing my sorrow

No I never knew you

We both landed up as different fools

Me so scared of the rules

You chasing all the girls

But it seems to me

We never grew up we just got ourselves free

Inventing what we could be

To buy all their curls

Get up and dance

Get up and smile

Get up and drink to the days

Ones that are gone in the shortest while

Get up and dance

Get up and smile

Get up and drink to the days

Ones who are gone in the shortest while

I'll sing my sorrow

I'll sing my sorrow

I'll sing my sorrow

I'll sing my sorrow

I'll sing my sorrow

I'll sing my sorrow

I'll sing my sorrow

I'll sing my sorrow
