Lyrics

One Too Many
One more day, of doin’ the grind; that’s numbing your mind
Gotta keep it steady, ready, breathe
Stackin’ em’ up, droppin’ no dimes, bending back now, climb
Gotta snatch that penny
Fall in one single line
Keep your pace and you’re fine
Say you’re needing some time, oh, like I’ve got any
Keeping up with the Jones, fingers down the bone
You’re a sight to behold
It’s never enough and one too many
Things we do to make it all right; ya, not sleeping at night
Grabbin’ at that brass ring; tarnished dreams
Baggin’ em up, dropping them dimes; your respectable crime
Trying to keep it pretty
Saving face and you’re fine
Til’ ya fall outta line
Say you’re needing some grace oh, like I’ve got any
Keepin’ up with your jones; worried down to the bone
Losing sight; losing soul
Oh, it’s never enough and one too many
And I watch the sky
Cloud faces roll into view
Ya, I close one eye
Now, I’m winking at you
One more day doing your grind; numbing your mind
Gotta keep it steady, ready, breathe
Stackin em’up, droppin’ those dimes; save a stitch in time
Saying, I’ve got plenty
With everything there’s a cost, so when you stack it all up
Measure gain to your loss; oh, have you got any
Losing site of your soul
Or so I’ve been told
It’s never enough and oh, one too many
Oh, one too many
One too many
