Title:
“One Last Shot”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse)
Am
I stand on a crossroad under neon lights
F
With a guitar on my back and a pocket full of dreams
C
I’ve seen the world through a whiskey bottle
G
But it’s never as it seems
Am
The shadows of my past keep haunting
F
like old ghosts in this dusty town
C
But the strings of my guitar keep talking
G
And I ain’t gonna let them down
(Chorus)
Am
One last shot, for the road I’ve taken
F
One last song, for the hearts that’s broken
C
I’m a rock and roll survivor, with an impressive skill
G
This is my life, this is my thrill
(Verse)
Am
The highway calls my name, like a siren song
F
With the promise of bright city lights and fame
C
But the music in my soul keeps me grounded
G
And I know it’s not just a game
(Chorus)
Am
One last shot, for the dreams I’ve chased
F
One last song, for the love I’ve misplaced
C
I’m a rock and roll believer, with an impressive skill
G
This is my truth, this is my thrill
