One Foot in the Grave Songtext
von Casey Donahew

I was south of North Dakota, rolling through the black hills
Hopped up on whiskey and choking down pills
And I was fixed on a score, short on cash
So I robbed a liquor store, bought some speed and some hash

Then I headed out to Cheyenne, there were bulls to be spurred
But my brother got locked up in Denver, started signing like a bird
So I made it for the coast, it was time to set sail
′Cause when it all falls apart, and it all goes to hell

I'm just living my life one day at a time
A walking disaster, stoned out of my mind
It′s alright, it's ok, and there ain't nothing to save
′Cause I′m already half dead and got one foot in the grave


You think you're better than me
Well, you′re probably right
But I'm ringside in Baha, drunk at a bullfight
I changed my name to Juan Carlos to sell guns and drugs
′Til the CIA got me, had my trailer house bugged
Wanted dead or alive by the Juárez Cartel
When it all falls apart, man, it all goes to hell

I'm just living my life one day at a time
A walking disaster, stoned out of my mind
It′s alright, it's ok, and there ain't nothing to save
′Cause I′m already half dead and got one foot in the grave

So I flipped like Tekashi then I sold out my friends
Joined Witness Protection, never heard from again
And if you're out in west Texas and get thrown in jail
You can dial up my number, call Juan Carlos bail
And don′t drop the soap 'cause it never fails
When it all falls apart, man it all goes to hell

I′m just living my life one day at a time
A walking disaster, stoned out of my mind
It's alright, it′s ok, and there ain't nothing to save
'Cause I′m already half dead and got one foot in the grave

Yeah, it′s alright, it's ok, there ain′t nothing to save
'Cause I′m already half dead and got one foot in the grave
