written by Slaid Cleaves and Steve Brooks. recorded by Slaid Cleaves on the cd 'Broke Down' I think it's on so capo on first fret and play these chords. Start in . It's New Year's Day Just like the day before Same old skies of grey Same empty bottles on the floor Another year gone by And I'm thinking once again How can I take this losing hand And somehow win Just give me one good year To get my feet back on the ground I've been chasing grace But grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man Chase him and carry him down I gotta get out of here Just give me one good year I'm burning oil Engine's running rough I drive from job to job But it's never enough I can't find the will To just up and get away Some kind of chains holding me down To make me stay. Just give me one good year..... It's a bitter wind In your face every day It's the little sins That wear your soull away When you start giving in Where do the promises all go Will your darkest hour Write a blank cheque on your soul Just give me one good year To get my feet back on the ground I've been chasing grace But grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man A good one can turn him around I gotta get out of here Just give me one good year I gotta get out of here Just give me one good year
