But that was all he missed, and he ain't comin' back
At a tombstone bar in a jukejoint car he made a stop
Just long enough to grab a handle off the top
Next stop Chi-town, Lido put the money down, let it roll
He said, one more job oughta get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it, one for the road

Lido, whoa, he's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a waitin' for the go
Lido, whoa, he said, one more job oughta get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it, one more for the road

Lido be runnin' havin' great big fun until he got the note
Sayin' toe the line or blow it, and that was all she wrote
He be makin' like a beeline headin' for the borderline
Goin' for broke
Sayin' one more hit oughta do it, this joint, ain't nothin' to it
One more for the road

Lido, whoa, he's for the money, he's for the show
Lido's a waitin' for the go
Lido, whoa, one more job oughta get it
One last shot and we quit it, one more for the road

I wanna hear some "rowboat rock".
