J-Wonn featuring Big Yayo - "One For The Road"

J-Wonn is an incredible young, new artist whose songs are skyrocketing to the top of the charts.  Radio stations are still playing "I Got This Record" and it was released more than a year ago.  All of his music has been really, really good. The lyrics in his songs are amazingly simple and maybe that's the attraction we have. Or, it could be the melodies.  I don't know.  What I do know is that whatever he's doing is working.  In "One For The Road," J-Wonn talks to the ladies and fellas, steppers and swingers, and single ladies and players.  He tells them to handle their business and get one for the road - whether it's a drink, that last dance, or that elusive phone number. His simplicity is genius.

P.S. J-Wonn doesn't say actually say "go get you one for the road;" it sounds more like 'go on' or 'gone' get you one for the road.  But since I don't know how to capture it accurately, I'll leave it as it is.  Sorry J-Wonn!

Ladies and fellas
It’s bout the time to go
It’s bout the time to go
Now if you haven’t hit the bar
To give yourself a drink
Go get you one for the road
Go get you one for the road

Steppers and swingers
It’s bout the time to go
It’s bout the time to go
Now if you haven’t hit the dance floor
To get your groove on
Go get you one for the road
Go get you one for the road

Single ladies and players
It’s bout the time to go
It’s bout the time to go
Now if you haven’t got her number
Go ahead and get your phones out
And get you one for the road
Go get you one for the road

XXOOXX
Thanks Debra!!
Enjoy!
