Life ain't all that easy I can testify to that It's been up and down and round and round to get to where I'm at If you could see how I'm living in this old car I drive Well you'd probably wonder and even ponder why I even want to stay alive So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day Well I could complain about taxes or the weather we're having today Go on and on about things that are wrong from New York to L.A. Well that's just not my nature to sit around feeling sad We're only here for awhile so why not smile hey living ain't all that bad So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day When I look around there's lots of folks worse off than me So I just thank the good Lord and ask him please So give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got Let me open my eyes to a new sunrise I pray Give me one more chance I'll learn to dance the dance Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day Well I'm satisfied just being alive give me one more day Give me one more shot I'll give it all I've got Give me one more day Show me the way and give me one more day Give me one more shot
