You’re off to the show And I’d never tell you to turn around now

Remember your coat, I Remember the winter that you came around

Before you hit the road Why don’t you dance with me now?

Why don’t you stay? The song only lasts for so long

All I can say Is I’ll miss you the moment you’re gone

I’ve got so much to say now It’s funny the days when the courage comes
(C)            Bm   Em           G                     C   
Before you fly away Know it goes on, everything you’ve begun
(C)               Bm      Em           A7                C

One more for the road Some soldiers won’t die ‘til the light of day
(C)          Bm        Em           G               C
And drinking alone, is For only the loneliest anyway
(C)              Bm     Em                              G           C
