One Step Ahead Of The Blues

Sometimes I feel confident

like I'm in control,

Rolling out in Vegas

And landing every roll.

But lately I ain't winning

It's snake eyes every time,

I'm losing and I'm down

to my last dime.

Now every day I hope and pray

to make it through one more,

As the winter wind rushes in

And chills me to the core.

I've lost so much that nothing

is all I've got to lose,

It's one day till tomorrow

And one step ahead of the blues.

Don't tell me that I'll be alright

That's something you don't know,

Or tell me not to be uptight

Or not to let it show.

My confidence is sliding

This I know is true,

I'm barely just one step

Ahead of the blues.

Now every day I hope and pray

To make it through one more,

As the winter wind rushes in

And chills me to the core.

I've lost so much that nothing

Is all I've got to lose,

It's one day till tomorrow

And one step ahead of the blues.

Now every day I hope and pray

To make it through one more,

As the winter wind rushes in

and chills me to the core.

I've lost so much that nothing

Is all I've got to lose,

It's one day till tomorrow

And one step ahead of the blues.

It's one day till tomorrow

And one step ahead of the blues.
