One for the Road

from Immorality by Dr. Lindyke

about

Dave writes: This is a very early song, probably the second or third I ever put music to. It's a theme I know nothing about.

No. Really.

lyrics

LYRICS
----------

Overtaken, overnight
By the girl who stalks the street
I can't believe I feel this way
She knocked me off my feet
"Follow me" she whispered
And I was blindly taken in
For the nights don't lie to lucky guys
And I'll never see her again.

She was one for the road
From the bad road
Her price was high
As her every lie
But the morals wee very low
She was one for the road.

Cleaning up she sweeps the street
She does it all too well
For unsuspecting lonely guys
She'll kiss and never tell
They'll swear they're deep in love
But she knows it isn't so
She brings them round to gun them down
While her conscience never shows.

She was one for the road
From the bad road
Her price was high
As her every lie
But the morals wee very low
She was one for the road.

She hides behind those ruby lips
And a face that paints a smile
She won't give in to anyone
That life's just not her style
Why's her life so empty
When she crowds in all those nights
Business men with cash to spend
Who she'll leave without a fight.

She was one for the road
From the bad road
Her price was high
As her every lie
But the morals wee very low
She was one for the road.
