One Step Away From The Hole

from I Will Never Be Alone In This Land by Alex McMurray

lyrics

and now we see you handing out your mischief
and folks will pin a dollar on your shirt
tomorrow when i smell you in my jacket
i'll gather up those dollars in the dirt
before you realize that the dice are loaded
before you know it's some one else's game
the trap for you is set--when you get free from that net
you'll spend a lifetime clearing up your name

cuz you're one step away from the hole
you're one step away from the hole
you like the cards you're given
but you'd better fold
cuz you're one step away from the hole

behind the bleachers everybody's falling
and everybody blames the referee
the ones ain't busy falling's busy climbing
why don't they want to come down from their tree?

cuz they're one step away from the hole
they're one step away from the hole
ain't a one among them ready for this role
and they're one step away from the wall

i work the chain further down my ankle
i move the collar up around my neck
my wrists are red and raw forget the things i saw
perhaps someone will pull me from the wreck

cuz i'm one step away from the hole
i'm one step away from the hole
the drinks are pretty cheap here but you pay with your soul
and i'm one step away from the hole
