One More Song For The Road Lyrics

I made it to your lights

Showbiz, I took a shine

But all these hungry nights

Have been a waste of time

They said if I believed

Then I could make it so

The dream I won't achieve

And yet before I go

I'm doing one more song for the road

For the heights I might have climbed

One more song for the road

For the fame that will never be mine

I knocked on every door

Auditions were a bust

The hopes to make a score

Have faded into dust

My money's run its course

I'm shoving off today

Just one last thing to do

Before I leave this stage

I'm singing one more song for the road

For the crowds that might have been

One more song for the road

For the cheers that I never could win

When I get home, I'll swallow

What's lingers of my pride

But one thing they can never say

This fool kid never tried

And so, it's one more song for the road

One more tune as the footlights shine

One more song for the road

For the fame that will never

Never, never, never

Fame that will never be mine
