Lucy Kaplansky - One Good Reason lyrics

rate me

Woke up scared in the middle of the night

He reached for the bottle and turned on the light

Looked at the clock, this can't be right

I'm not dreaming

Turned on the tv and the radio

Elvis rocked and Elvis rolled

While Jesus on his radio show

Said pack your bags, we're leaving

Chorus:

There's a line I've crossed somewhere

I left the best of me back there

Never thoguht I'd end up here

Guess all the best things disappear

Whiskey is his water and it's made in hell

From the bottom of his barrel to the bottom of his well

Nothing in this room but an empty shell

And he's not dreaming

A drunkard's regrets are a dime a dozen

A thousand cures and a thousand poinsons

Even Elvis couldn't find one good reason

To keep believing

Chorus

Guess she thought she had nothing to lose

When she told him he had to choose

Nice idea but they both knew

That she'd be leaving

Jesus said seek and you shall find

He doesn't think it's true this time

Some things you look for you never find

Like one good reason

chorus
