the previous version of Song for the Road is the Tanglefoot version. The one I like to sing is here. Make up your own tune...everybody else seems to.

Song for the Road   Holmes Hook

Our evening here is has reached the end the time to part is near
I'm glad our roads they did cross and came together here
Your welcome it has been so warm, so before we travel on
Raise your glass and raise your voice and sing a parting song


If your road is lonely even till the end
A song that's kept within your heart will be a steady friend
And if your way is paved with love, raise your voice in song
And share it with a traveller whose road is hard and long

The ways we take from this place will have many twists and bends
But I've never travelled a road that didn't have an end
And when I meet some folks like you I like to call my friends
I pray the road will take a turn and we'll sing this song again

But if I find a resting place before I'm back this way
Should the road be just long and my steps be turn to clay
If from tonight you do recall just one line of this song
Then even if my road should end, this song will travel on.
