One Step Ahead Of The Blues

(album: Ragin' Live - 2005)

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 all right
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

It's one day till tomorrow
And one step ahead of the blues
