More Than One Year - Creed Fisher

I did a one night stand in Phoenix, at a run down dirty bar

And as I stumble off the stage an old man grabbed my guitar

He said son I’m glad I caught your show, I really dig your sound

But you may never get your chance if you don’t slow down

I said I’m hopped up on the cocaine

Shootin' whiskey, feeling no pain

Need a handful of pills just to get back down

Half a bottle of George Dickel

And a fully loaded pistol

Scares off all the demons

Every time they come around

I’ve lost track of all the women

Can’t get back what I’ve been spending

That’s just the cost of living

More than one year at a time

Well he was standing in the shadows, he fired up a cigarette

It was like I’ve always known him even though we’ve never met

There was something so familiar, that old six string in his hand

But then his words cut through the smoke, he said I understand

I said I’m hopped up on the cocaine

Shootin' whiskey, feeling no pain

Need a handful of pills just to get back down

Half a bottle of George Dickel

And a fully loaded pistol

Scares off all the demons

Every time they come around

I’ve lost track of all the women

Can’t get back what I’ve been spending

That’s just the cost of living

More than one year at a time

Well I got an ice cold inner feeling

When I recognized that man

He said Hoss Lord this outlaw bid

Can sure get out of hand

When you’re hopped up on the cocaine

Shootin' whiskey, feeling no pain

Need a handful of pills just to get back down

Half a bottle of George Dickel

And a fully loaded pistol

Scares off all the demons

Every time they come around

I’ve lost track of all the women

Can’t get back what I’ve been spending

That’s just the cost of living

More than one year at a time

More than one year at a time
