Lyrics: One Day at a Time, by Joe Walsh (2012)
Verse 1
Well you know I was always the first to arrive at the party
Oh, and the last to leave the scene of the crime
Well it started with a couple of beers
And it went I don’t know how many years
Like a runaway train headed for the end of the line
Verse 2
Well I finally got around to admit that I might have a problem
But I thought it was just too damn big of a mountain to climb
Well I got down on my knees and said, “Hey!
I just can’t go on livin’ this way
Guess I have to learn to live my life one day at a time”
Chorus
Oh yeah! One day at a time
Oh yeah! One day at a time
Guitar Solo
Chorus
Oh yeah! One day at a time
Oh yeah! One day at a time
Verse 3
Well I finally got around to admit that I was the problem
When I used to put the blame on everybody’s shoulders but mine
All the friends I used to run with are gone
Lord, I hadn’t planned on living this long
But I finally learned to live my life one day at a time
Outro
It was something I was too blind to see
I got help from something greater than me
And today I learned to live my life one day at a time
