More Than One Year At A Time
1st verse
Did a 1 night stand in Phoenix in a rundown dirty bar
I stumbled off the stage an old man grabbed my guitar
He said son I'm glad I caught your show
Cause I really dig your sound
But you ain't gonna get your chance
If you don't slow down
Chorus:
I've been hopped up on the cocaine
Shooting whiskey feelin no pain
Hand full of pills just to get back down
Half a bottle of George Dickel
Fully loaded pistol
Scare off all the demons when they come around
Lost track of all the women
I can't get back what I've been spending
That's just the cost of fast hard living
More than one year at a time
2nd
Standing in the shadows he fired up a cigarette
It was I'd always known even though we'd never met
There was something so familiar
That old six string in his hand
Then his words cut thru the smoke
He said I understand
Bridge:
Like an ice cold eerie feeling I recognized that man
When he said Hoss this outlaw bit can sure get out of hand
