One Good Year Songtext

von 30 Odd Foot of Grunts

It's New Years Day
Just like the day before
Same old skies of grey
Same empty bottles on the floor
Another years gone by,
And I was 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
Grace ain't so easily found
One bad hand can devil a man,
Chase him and carry him down
I've got to 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 is holding me down and making me stay

Just give me One Good Year
To get my feet back on the ground
I've been chasing grace
Grace ain't so easily found
One bad hand can devil a man
Chase him and carry him down
I've got to 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

It's New Years Day just like the day before
Same old skies of grey, same empty bottles on the floor
Another years gone by, and I was 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
Grace ain't so easily found
One bad hand can devil a man
Chase him and carry him down
I've got to get out of here
Just give me One Good Year
