Lyrics
One Kiss For The Road By Collin Warren
Copyright 2003. All rights reserved.
VERSE 1:
Before you say anything let me apologize for
Knocking on your door so late
Believe me the words I have for you
Are words that couldn't possibly wait
It seems I've done it again, gone off the deep end,
And now there our men outside hunting for my head
And this time the chase won't stop
until it stops me dead
CHORUS:
But death can wait it's turn
I've got all eternity to burn
But I just thought I'd try to apologize
One more time before sunrise
For the Devil is coming for my soul and I've got to go away
So give me one kiss for the road
VERSE 2:
I've left a thousand towns like this one before
And I never felt the need to hesitate
But in this place I felt that I would run no more
Like somehow I had stolen a good man's fate
For the moment I first saw you you split my whole life in two
And all the broken pieces were left out in the street
And you took off my disguise and absorbed me with your eyes
And you put my heart inside of yours and threw away the key
CHORUS:
But death can wait it's turn
I've got all eternity to burn
But I just thought I'd try to apologize
One more time before sunrise
For the Devil is coming for my soul and I've got to go away
So give me one kiss for the road
VERSE 3:
Everything was fine until that man was on your mind
And I could see the battle going on behind your eyes
Though I swore I'd never lose you it was not mine to choose
Who you tossed away and who you kept beside
So I had to come and see you because before I paid a visit to his door
And I don't think he's gonna be coming here no more
And I too must be on my way but I had to stop and say
Goodbye to the one woman I'd trade anything for
CHORUS:
But death can wait it's turn
I've got all eternity to burn
But I just thought I'd try to apologize
One more time before sunrise
For the Devil is coming for my soul and I've got to go away
So give me one kiss for the road
