One Shot in the Darkness

Oh, the stage is set like always

Won’t be long before I’m gone

See them coming through the doorway

Wondering whose side they are on

So I take one shot in the darkness

And move along

I was on the way to Memphis

Got no love from the Carolina’s

How much longer can I do this

Leaving half my heart behind

When it takes one shot in the darkness

To change my mind

And the years are passing by me

Oh, the years roll on and on

The fire below is coming

And it won’t be long

Got enough left just to get there

Not enough to make it through

If I cannot live without this

I don’t know what I’m gonna do

So I’ll take one more shot in the darkness and aim for you

I’ll take one more shot in the darkness
