In this emotionally charged ballad, Jason Aldean delves into the anguish of a heartbroken man coping with his lover's departure. Each drink represents a different facet of his sorrow—regret, farewell, and the painful reality of her absence. The recurring imagery of her Firebird and Firestone tires accentuates her journey away from him, both literally and metaphorically. As he contemplates her escape on various roads, he seeks solace in one last drink before facing the inevitable loneliness awaiting him at home. The song captures the protagonist's struggle between numbing his pain and confronting it, encapsulating the universal experience of love lost and the futile attempts to forget someone who has left an indelible mark on one's life.
One For The Road
Lyrics
I had one for the good, one for the bye
One for kicking myself all night
One for her and all four wheels
And one for the way her leaving feels
Now here it is, time to close
Now how 'bout one more before I go?
Give me one for the road she's on tonight
Her Firestones turning, Firebird burning right out of my life
'Fore the lights come on and I pay my tab
Then climb inside that yellow cab
To take me home
Give me one for the road she's on
65 south, State Route 7
Broadway, Main Street, County Road 11
Wherever she is four-lane forgetting 'bout me
Give me one for the road she's on tonight
Her Firestones turning, Firebird burning right out of my life
'Fore the lights come on and I pay my tab
Then climb inside that yellow cab
To take me home
Give me one for the road she's on
Yeah, I ain't drunk but I ain't sober
I know I'm still gonna wake up hungover on her
So what's one more gonna hurt?
Give me one for the road she's on tonight
Her Firestones turning, Firebird burning right out of my life
'Fore the lights come on and I pay my tab
Then climb inside that yellow cab
To take me home
Give me one for the road she's on
Give me one for the road she's on
Tonight
