One for the road

    

 A      E7                           A
On the night that we first fell in love
    D                           A
we kissed 'neath the stars up above
          E7          A
By your front porch light as we said goodnight
               E7           A
you gave me a kiss for the road.


Give me a kiss for the road
one kiss and then I must go
I'll think of you the whole night through
give me a kiss for the road

I kissed you 'neath veil of white
I knew everything was alright
We started our plans, dragging boots and tin cans
and we stole a kiss for the road

Give me a kiss for the road
one kiss and then we must go
I'll travel with you my whole life through
give me a kiss for the road

Three childred I bounced on my Knee
and each night I'd sing them to sleep.
As they journeyed it seems, to the land of their dreams
I'd give them a kiss for the road.

Give me a kiss for the road
Then off to sleep you must go
I'll think of you the whole night through
give me a kiss for the road

This last journey I must face alone
I hate to leave you on your own.
I'll wait for you, eternity through
give me a kiss for the road

Give me a kiss for the road
just one kiss and then I must go,
I'll wait for you, eternity through
give me a kiss for the road
