I hung around the honky tonks and taverns
They've always been my home away from home
And that's the reason why my baby's left me
That's the reason why my darling's gone
She must understand I'm lost without her
My life has been a nightmare since she left
She must believe I'm so ashamed I hurt her
That what I've done I'm not proud of myself
Make that one for the road a cup of coffee
She's giving me another chance tonight
Make that one for the road a cup of coffee
When I see her everything must be alright
With her help I think I'm gonna make it
I'm not strong enough without her I don't think
But it's late already and if she don't show up
Forget the coffee and just pour another drink
Make that one for the road a cup of coffee
She's giving me another chance tonight
Make that one for the road a cup of coffee
Cause when I see her everything must be alright
