One Good Year

It's New Year's Day

Just like the day before

Same old skies of grey

Same empty bottles on the floor

Another year gone by

And I'm thinking once again

How can I take this losing hand

And somehow win?

Just give me one good year

To get my feet back on the ground

I've been chasing grace

But grace ain't so easily found

One bad hand can devil a man

Chase him and carry him down

I gotta get out of here

Just give me one good year

I'm burning oil

Engine's running rough

I drive from job to job

But it's never enough

I can't find the will

To just up and get away

Some kind of chain's holding me down

To make me stay

Just give me one good year

To get my feet back on the ground

I've been chasing grace

But grace ain't so easily found

One bad hand can devil a man

Chase him and carry him down

I gotta get out of here

Just give me one good year

It's a bitter wind

In your face every day

It's the little sins

That wear your soul away

When you start giving in

Where do the promises all go?

Will your darkest hour

Write a blank check on your soul?

Just give me one good year

To get my feet back on the ground

I've been chasing grace

But grace ain't so easily found

One bad hand can devil a man

A good one can turn him around

I gotta get out of here

Just give me one good year

I gotta get out of here

Just give me one good year

Just give me one good year
