American Aquarium

One Day At A Time
Wide-eyed and twenty-one, 'nother shot of Jameson To calm my nerves before this nightly masquerade What people see as nonchalant, a complex conditioned response A chemical reaction, brown liquor and self-doubt So that I can stand up on this stage like a guilty child avoidin' blame I'd kick, I'd scream, I'd curse the name of the girls that walked away You see the man left holdin' the pen controls how every story ends The truth becomes a martyr for the sake of the song Yeah I'm in a good place I'm a-walkin' that straight line I'm just gettin' along, rightin' these wrongs One day at a time For years the drinks were just a crutch until the drinks were just too much I guess it comes with the job: Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' roll! You see songs fulfill a human need to sit back and watch another man bleed So for a moment, we don't have to feel sorry for ourselves This imaginary confidence became the first line of defense If you don't let 'em in, boy, they'll never let you down But she broke through and took control, my sweetheart of the rodeo And for the first time I found somethin' I couldn't afford to lose Yeah I'm in a good place Letras de cancionesI'm a-walkin' that straight line I'm just gettin' along, rightin' these wrongs One day at a time Every now and then I miss the way that highball glass would kiss My lips like a long-lost love welcomin' me home I don't miss the highs and lows of back-and-forth, the ebb-and-flow Of lettin' down the people that are standin' up for me Yeah I'm in a good place I'm a-walkin' that straight line I'm just gettin' along, rightin' these wrongs One day at a time I'm just gettin' along, rightin' these wrongs One day at a time From Letras Mania
