One Good Year Lyrics - Broke Down - Slaid Cleaves

It's New Years Day 

Just like the day before 

Same old skies of grey 

Same empty bottles on the floor 

Another year gone by 

And I'm thinking once again 

How can I take this losing hand 

And somehow win 

Just give me one good year 

To get my feet back on the ground 

I've been chasing grace 

But grace ain't so easily found 

One bad hand can devil a man 

Chase him and carry him down 

I gotta get out of here 

Just give me one good year 

I'm burning oil 

Engine's running rough 

I drive from job to job 

But it's never enough 

I can't find the will 

To just up and get away 

Some kind of chains holding me down 

To make me stay 

Just give me one good year 

It's a bitter wind 

In your face every day 

It's the little sins 

That wear your soul away 

When you start giving in 

Where do the promises all go 

Will your darkest hour 

Write a blank check on your soul? 

Just give me one good year 

To get my feet back on the ground 

I've been chasing grace 

But grace ain't so easily found 

One bad hand can devil a man 

A good one can turn him around 

I gotta get out of here 

Just give me one good year
