One Good Song

I GOT ADDICTED TO LEAVING

NOTHING COULD GET IN MY WAY

A FEW HUNDRED BUCKS AND WITH ANY LUCK

I’D HEAD OFF AND I’D DO IT AGAIN



ANOTHER ROOM FULL OF STRANGERS,

CLAPPING THEIR HANDS OFF TIME

I NEED ONE THAT WILL MAKE ‘EM ALL STAND STILL 

WHEN I HIT ‘EM WITH THAT PERFECT LINE



I’LL TAKE THOUSANDS OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS 

I’LL TAKE ALL MY LOVES GONE WRONG 

I’LL TAKE NOTHING BUT RAIN ‘TIL MY DYING DAY 
JUST GIVE ME ONE GOOD SONG



I’LL TAKE DRIVING FOR HOURS TO NOWHERE

HEAVY EYES ON THE ROAD

I’LL BE COUNTING THE LINES, I’LL BE PERFECTLY FINE 

JUST GIVE ME ONE GOOD SONG 



I’M CHASING A DREAM DOWN THE HIGHWAY

I’M JUST A JUNKIE LOOKIN’ TO SCORE

I STEP BACK IN TIME AND FEEL SATISFIED 

BUT THERE’S ALWAYS JUST SOMETHING MORE  



I’LL TAKE CHRISTMAS ALONE IN AUSTRALIA

I’LL TAKE “HI, HOW ARE YOU?” ON THE PHONE

I’LL TAKE ANY ROAD, I WON’T EVER GO HOME    

JUST GIVE ME ONE GOOD SONG 


MY MOTHER WILL CALL ME UP CRYING 

MY FRIENDS PACKED UP AND MOVED ON 

I’LL GIVE IT ALL AWAY FROM THE EDGE OF THE STAGE  

JUST GIVE ME ONE GOOD SONG
