More Than One Year

I did a one night stand in Phoenix

At a run down dirty bar

And as I stumbled off the stage

And old man grabbed my guitar

He said, "Son, I'm glad I caught your show

I really dig your sound

But you may never get your chance

If you don't slow down"

I said I'm hopped up on the cocaine

Shootin' whiskey, feelin' no pain

Need a handful of pills just to get back down

Half a bottle of George Dickel

And a fully loaded pistol

Scares off all the demons

Every time they come around

I've lost track of all the women

Can't get back what I've been spendin'

That's just the cost of livin'

More than one year at a time

Well, he was standing in the shadows

He fired up a cigarette

It was like I've always known him

Even though we've never met

There was something so familiar

That old six string in his hand

But then his words cut through the smoke

He said, I understand

Son, hold on, hopped up on the cocaine

Shootin' whiskey, feelin' no pain

Need a handful of pills just to get back down

Half a bottle of George Dickel

And a fully loaded pistol

Scares off all the demons

Every time they come around

I've lost track of all the women

Can't get back what I've been spendin'

That's just the cost of livin'

More than one year at a time

Well, I got and ice cold inner feeling

When I recognized that man

He said, "Hoss Lord, this outlaw bid

Can sure get out of hand"

When you're hopped up on the cocaine

Shootin' whiskey, feelin' no pain

Need a handful of pills just to get back down

Half a bottle of George Dickel

And a fully loaded pistol

Scares off all the demons

Every time they come around

I've lost track of all the women

Can't get back what I've been spendin'

That's just the cost of livin'

More than one year at a time

More than one year at a time
