Sometimes I feel confident
like I`m in control,
Rolling out in Vegas
and landing every roll.
But lately I ain`t winning
it`s snake eyes every time,
I`m losing and I`m down
to my last dime.

Now every day I hope and pray 
to make it through one more,
As the winter [bad word] in
and chills me to the core.
I`ve lost so much that nothing
is all I`ve got to lose,
It`s one day till tomorrow
and one step ahead of the blues.

Don`t tell me that I`ll be alright
that`s something you don`t know,
Or tell me not to be uptight
or not to let it show.
My confidence is sliding
this I know is [bad word] 
I`m barely just one step
ahead of the blues.

Now every day I hope and pray 
to make it through one more,
As the winter [bad word] in
and chills me to the core.
I`ve lost so much that nothing
is all I`ve got to lose,
It`s one day till tomorrow
and one step ahead of the blues.
