Sometimes I feel confident
like I'm in control,
Rolling out in Vegas
and landing every roll.
But lately I ain't winning
it's snake eyes every time,
I'm losing and I'm down
to my last dime.

(Chorus)

Now every day I hope and pray
to make it through one more,
As the winter wind rushes in
and chills me to the core.
I've lost so much that nothing
is all I've got to lose,
It's one day till tomorrow
and one step ahead of the blues.

Don't tell me that I'll be alright
that's something you don't know,
Or tell me not to be uptight
or not to let it show.
My confidence is sliding
this I know is true,
I'm barely just one step
ahead of the blues.

(Chorus 2x)

It's one day till tomorrow
and one step ahead of the blues.
