At Least Once

I don't know how I got here I don't know if I'll stay Sometimes no one knows the difference between a sinner and a saint If you want to know for certain which you are and which you ain't You've got to be one at least once They say living life is easy in this safe and precious land They say no one ever got somewhere by sleeping in the sand You just start by building something Work harder than you can You've got to do this at least once You just try Do it right You just try to find Where better times are hard to find I wake up some mornings with a demon in my head I say: man, please go away now, you're the worst I've ever had He says: why don't you accept me, for a minute, for a day? You've got to do this at least once He starts giving me advice now about doing what feels right About thinking what I've got here, about leaving it behind About the hours that I spend here, is it really what I want? He had to do this at least once I say: man, you must be kidding me, after all the work I've done He says: maybe that's the problem, you're not having any fun Go and get your stuff together, go to California You've got to go there at least once You've got to do this at least once We'll just try You and I We'll just drive around Where better times are hard to find Where better times are hard to find Where better times are hard to find Where better times are hard to find
