Lyrics One Shot Away - T.S.O.L.

One Shot Away

When I was young somebody once told me
You don’t get what you want, you get what you need
All I needed was fortune, fame and glory
When I got it, it wasn’t what it seemed
I woke up in a room that had no window
Sick as a dog no home and in the rain
Look at the fool too cool to stop and listen
He’d rather try to deal with his own pain
One shot away to meet your maker
One shot away no easy way out
One shot away and you’ll leave everyone behind
One shot away no easy way out
Strungout
No easy way out
Lights out
No easy way out
It’s not so easy to make it today
I’m here to tell you tomorrow’s too late
One shot away to meet your maker
One shot away no easy way out
One shot away and you’ll leave everyone behind
One shot away no easy way out
One shot away and you’ll leave everyone behind
One shot away the easy way out
