Lyrics

One More Year

They say Nashville's a five-year town
And if you're good, you'll find success
Well, I been at this for six years now
And I sure ain't found it yet
So what do you do when the money's all gone
Your time runs out but the dream lives on

Do you pack it up and walk away
Chalk it up to a big mistake
Head on home with your tail between your legs
Or do you grit your teeth, and tough it out
Still believe in the face of doubt
Keep on giving 'til there's nothing left
Do you sing your song and pray that someone hears
For one more year, just one more year

I know what it's like to have a job
That pays the mortgage and the bills
But every morning I came face to face
With an emptiness I couldn't fill
So I don't regret the choice I made
Still I have to ask on those darker days

Do I pack it up and walk away
Chalk it up to a big mistake
Head on home with my tail between my legs
Or do I grit my teeth, and tough it out
Still believe in the face of doubt
Keep on giving 'til there's nothing left
Do I sing my song and pray that someone hears
For one more year

How long is too long for a dream to come true?
Can you fail, can you really fail, when you're doing what you love to do?

So do I pack it up and walk away
Chalk it up to a big mistake
Head on home with my tail between my legs
Or do I grit my teeth, and tough it out
Still believe in the face of doubt
Keep on giving 'til there's nothing left
Do I sing my song and pray that someone hears
Cross my fingers, hope my time is near
For one more year, just one more year
Yeah, I think I'll give myself one more year
