"Just One More"
“Just One More”
VERSE 1:
I could barely see through the smoke
But I could feel when your eyes met mine
You were laughing and drinking with your friends
Looked like you were having a good time
Tipping one back with a cheeky grin
Before you stood up and headed my way
You raised your glass up to say
CHORUS:
Just one more
Before it’s time to go
I swear this is my last shot
And then I’m out the door
You know when it comes to the good stuff
I just can’t get enough
So hold on for a minute
We’re almost finished
Please give me just one more
VERSE 2:
Now I could see you weren’t leavin’
You leaned in close to ask me to dance
So I’d hear you over the steel guitar
I could smell tequila and romance
And your breath in my ear was so warm
We danced and we drank ‘til they closed it down
Time for one last spin around
CHORUS:
Just one more
Before it’s time to go
I swear this is my last shot
And then I’m out the door
You know when it comes to the good stuff
I just can’t get enough
So hold on for a minute
We’re almost finished
Please give me just one more
VERSE 3:
It was fun at the beginning
The bars and parties every weekend
But when Monday mornings come rollin’ ‘round
You haven’t had enough of drinkin’
It’s time to let go and settle down
I’m done spinning round in this crazy dance
And you’re down to your last chance
BRIDGE:
I know you think you’ve got this under control
But can’t you see you can’t do this alone
This demon you’re wrestling is bigger than both of us
But I can’t save you if you just want to drown
And I just can’t watch you drink yourself into the ground
VERSE 4:
Well, it’s going on two years now
And it’s clear that the party’s over
I’m sick and I’m tired of wasting my tears
Love’s not enough to keep you sober
All of the good times have disappeared
Need to rescue myself and call it quits
Say goodbye with one last kiss
CHORUS:
Just one more
Before it’s time to go
I swear this is my last shot
And then I’m out the door
You know when it comes to the good stuff
I just can’t get enough
I’ll only hold on for a minute
Cause this love is finished
