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

One more for the road Some soldiers won't die 'til the light of day

So here's to the ghosts And here's to the games that we lost and we loved
Bm Em A7 C
We come and we go But a lifetime is never enough
Em A7 G C
Why don't you stay' The song only lasts for so long
Em A7 G C
All I can say Is I'll miss you the moment you're gone
Em A7 G C
So show me that smile and hang for awhile You're headed a lifetime away
Em A7 G
Why don't you stay'
