One fo[G]r the road, one for the road,
That leads them right back here,

W[Am]ash em down d[G]eep,
And p[F]lay in the pu[C]ddle,
Till theyre f[Em]ast asl[Am]eep.
[1]Now Joe he lost his woman to some big-shot business man.
He said I trusted love not money and now look where I am.
Youve had enough Joe, you gotta go now.
Youve too much Joe, I send you home now.
[2]And he says please Frank, please Frank.
But I am just the tender, I dont give counsel I dont get close,
Im on no rescue mission man, Im in no rescue boat,
[3]Im here to make money,
Wages plus tips,
For pouring water
Into sinking ships.
