about

This is the second version of a song that has been recognized and praised by many in the music business as a stand out traditional country songwriting effort. It seems to have the lyrical magic that is missing from the new age of country music. Songwriting legend Gary Gentry says it is "in the Braddock league."

lyrics

One Shot at a Time Words and Music by Lloyd Tosoff SOCAN/BMI

Verse 1

By the time he was 29 he had it made
With a song on the charts
It was stone cold and hit bound
‘bout a honky tonk heart
Said he’d never make 40
Livin' hard and carryin' on
We all said boy you better slow down
He was one goodbye from gone

Verse 2

They still play ‘im on the radio
Every now and then
Sang like a homesick angel
Raisin’ hell was heaven sent
We all tried to warn him
But he wouldn’t go dry
He just laughed and poured another
Said no one here gets out alive

Chorus

You can’t blame Jack Daniels
When you drink away your life
There were lights on his name
Fortune and fame
And a beautiful wife
But that old pride of Lynchburg is like a Colt 45
Cause whiskey can kill you
One shot at a time

Verse 3

It was his last date down in Mobile
But he never made the stage
The MC introduced him
But he didn’t hear the page
They found him in the Green Room
On the floor white as a ghost
With his right hand on the bottle
He never made his final show
