One Chance At A Time

Hello there

You tell me

You got a lot of real respect

For my kind

The old timers

I'm old enough to know the rules.

But nobody gave me the book

I had to learn to improvise myself

'n time 'n time i let me down

Until i learned the hard way

How to feel

What's real



Chorus:



But you get one chance at a life

To give it all and get it right

'n after all this time in mine

Everything i thought i knew

Was tellin' me

To give it up

And leave it all behind

But you get endless second chances

To take it one chance at a time



For love 'n money

I made a lot-a dumb mistakes

In my time

Believe me

I proved and proved it

I can't believe i'm gonna prove it again

It's time to reinvent myself

But where the hell does the fire come from

When makin' it don't make it anymore?



Chorus



Time and love

I been lookin' all my life

For time and love

Hoping a breeze will come 'n take me

I been waiting

And waiting

And sailing in one place

Like a bird against the wind

Afraid to turn and fly away
