I've never been here before But I'm comin' back tomorrow For the real pain, a cold rain again Nice day for a crucifixion Heard a new prediction That we can all be saved, so I'll have One more for the road Oh play it again One more for the road Never heard this before That a child can tell who's evil But it's a good thing if we sing along Cold day, we can make a fire Burn another liar Can witches ever die? Hey let's burn One more for the road Gimme the same again One more for the road Well I've never been here before And the room is really empty But there's a big line waiting for the show Nice day for an execution Another wrong conclusion But someone's got to pay, so let's burn One more for the road Oh play it again One more for the road There's a child who just sees evil And a man who just loves pain But I've heard that we can't save them So gimme me the same again There's a cross that you can't carry 'Cause it's heavier than hell And if you should meet your maker Just pray that he won't yell One more for the road One more for the road Play it again One more for the road
