More Than One Year

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
