Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's New Year's Day
Just like the day before
Same old skies of grey
Same empty bottles on the floor
[Verse 2]
Another year gone by
And I'm thinking once again
How can I take this losing hand
And somehow win?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I'm burning oil
Engine's running rough
I drive from job to job
But it's never enough
[Verse 5]
I can't find the will
To just up and get away
Some kind of chain's holding me down
To make me stay
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
It's a bitter wind
In your face every day
It's the little sins
That wear your soul away
[Verse 8]
When you start giving in
Where do the promises all go?
Will your darkest hour
Write a blank check on your soul?
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
I gotta get out of here
Just give me one good year
Just give me one good year
