One More Shot

Last call the bartender says
So he looks up through a whiskey haze
Wondering how he got to this place
After promising that he would change

Go on now get home to your wife
I bet she's been up half the night
Worrying about where you've been tonight
This ain't no way to live your life

But the whiskey
Is much too strong
And the regret
Doesn't last that long

Bartender, just one more shot
Pour a double then I'll be done
Call the cab and I'll head for home
Don't worry 'bout me
I'll soon be gone

Bartender, just one more shot
Pour a double then I'll be done
Call the cab and I'll head for home
Don't worry 'bout me
I'll soon be gone
But for now I'm asking you, please
Just one more shot for me

Back and forth she paced all night
Hoping that she wasn't right
Sees the cab finally arrive
Relieved to know that he didn't drive

You promised me that this would end
I just don't know how much more I can stand
Worrying about where you've been all night
This isn't the way I want to live my life

The lonely
Is much too strong
Makes the nights
Last way too long

Please give us just one more shot
No more promises I'm down to none
Unpack your bags and stay at home
I know you got used to bein' alone
So now I'm begging you, please
Just one more shot for me

God grant me
The peace to make
The fate to change
The strength to take
One step at a time

God grant me
The peace to make
The fate to change
The strength to take
One step at a time

I just need one more shot
At forever and then I'm done
This house don't need no more alone
I love my wife more than she knows
So Lord I'm begging you please
I'm on my knees
And I'm begging you, please
Just one more shot for me
