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.
