Lyrics

One More Notch

I was once young and mad,
Look at me, I'm the last of my breed

Many towns many faces
seem to melt into one
I made a name for myself
at the end of a gun
I've played this part oh so long
I now believe it myself
I watch the clock
One more notch

He called me out at noon
just a kid dressed in black
In less than one hour
He'll be dead in his tracks
Wheels of faith are in motion
A tragic play in reverse
I watch the clock
One more notch

Oh what a lonely road
The winters have come and gone
I've seen so many things
Things that I can't explain
I was once young and mad
Now you see I'm the last of my breed
Please look at me

If he would only listen
I'd say put down your guy
You're young and full of promise
don't live your life on the run
His eyes just looked through me
I know how this chapter ends
I watch the clock
One more notch
