one more time (same old habits)

another place in another time

i'd know that face anywhere

without a trace and without a sign

anytime you could come to me

in the night

when you thought

no one should have known

with your hard luck little girl look

and the trouble that you'd own

you'd come like the wind

when the night got so cold

and leave with the light

like you didn't even know you'd

come at all

one more time

you could walk back in

one more time

it's the same south highway again

one less chance and then one less mistake

some old habits are so hard to break

like you

if a heart could ever learn to say goodbye

and not let time take the best away

still i learn

look down and i'd ask knowing why

still this time is the destiny

i'd wait while you climb your golden stair

hard luck then little girl

i know it's nowhere

still you feel

they beat on you like a drum

if you get tired

torn and wasted

you know i'd never be one

so many times

when it gets so hard to

see the truth

when you got to survive you

tow the line and you compromise

until you live a lie

another place in another time

i'd know that face anywhere and i

without a trace and without a sign

i still remember

one more time

you could walk back in

one more time

it's the same south highway again

one less chance and then one less mistake

some old habits are so hard to break

like you
