What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
My pockets are empty though my wife has sent me
2
To the store for some cigarettes and bread
3
I started walking there got as far as the square
4
Then the smell of beer went to my head
5
The thing about beer it can make a man hear
6
Voices from days long since past
7
And with every third drink it'll make you think
8
That your youth will always last
9
No matter which way you move it takes a lifetime to prove
10
To yourself I could have been more
11
I got one foot in the door I just want one more
12
I thought of a time when my future was mine
13
It didn't matter what anyone said
14
I was handsome and strong and when I walked along
15
I stood erect and looked straight ahead
16
But then I lost my fight goin' to turned to might
17
Somewhere along the line I lost my will
18
And now I'm sittin' here my life full of beer
19
And I try to pretend it's not real
20
No matter which way you move it takes a lifetime to prove
21
To yourself I have been there before
22
I got one foot in the door I just want one more
23
[ guitar ]
24
These days I barely survive on lot number five
25
In the mobile acres on the eastside of town
26
I swore this kind of life I'd never lead
27
I guess I let too many things get me down
28
If my pappy could see what they done to me
29
I swear he'd march down there and make it all right
30
But he's long since gone and I'm old enough now
31
I should be able to fight my own fight
32
No matter which way you move it takes a lifetime to prove
33
To yourself I could have been more
34
I got one foot in the door I just want one more
