faded jeans and grinning teeth
it wasn't love but it was sweet
I keep my hands right by my side
on down the line we'll get it right
you always said "one for the road"
this is for the misplaced heart
slow to end and quick to start
she flashed a smile and raised her glass
better soak this in, kid, before it's past
you always saved one for the road
and you were such a pretty little thing
with your drugs and your fresh-faced routine
so let's find something to believe
like a map on the wall or a subtle plea
we'll take it down and fold it up
just make sure there's still enough
'cause we always save one for the road
your final thoughts and my last words
the greatest things no one ever heard
like that song you left unsung
into the barrel of a gun
now these bullets we shoot up will come back down
those feelings we shot up now are coming back down to us
faded jeans and grinning teeth
it wasn't love but it was sweet
