Just A Little More Lyrics - Iii - Joe Nichols

Sittin' at a poker table holdin' kings and threes 

So far lady luck, hm, sure has been good to me 

I should quit while I'm ahead, but I'll hang around instead 

And the dealer asked, what would you settle for? 

And I said, just a little more 

I need just a little more 

A little more than I've got 

And I've got all that I can spend and I can't spend it fast enough 

But if the truth be known, I can't quit on my own 

And I spent all my life waitin' for just a little more 

Havin' a drink here on my favorite stool 

I know that a couple has turned into a few 

And the bartender says to me, son, I think it's time you leave 

If you don't mind headin' for the door 

But I ask, for just a little more 

I need just a little more, a little more than I've had 

And I've had all that a man should and I should leave and not come back 

But if the truth be known I can't quit on my own 

And I spent all my life waitin' for just a little more 

Too many late nights and all of the above 

You've tried to help me for so long 

But you finally had enough 

And you tell me that you're gonna leave 

As you're holding on to me 

But before you let me go, hold me just a little more 

I need just a little more 

A little more time 

Time for me to end all these hurtin' ways of mine 

And Lord, I know you give me all the strength that I need 

But I'm down here on my knees prayin' for 

Just a little more 

Just a little more
