At Least Once Songtext
von Douglas Firs

I don′t know how I got here
I don't know if I′ll stay
Sometimes no one knows the difference between a sinner and a saint
If you want to know for certain which you are and which you ain't
You've got to be one at least once

They say living life is easy in this safe and precious land
They say no one ever got somewhere by sleeping in the sand
You just start by building something
Work harder than you can
You′ve got to do this at least once

You just try
Do it right
You just try to find
Where better times are hard to find


I wake up some mornings with a demon in my head
I say: man, please go away now, you′re the worst I've ever had
He says: why don′t you accept me, for a minute, for a day?
You've got to do this at least once

He starts giving me advice now about doing what feels right
About thinking what I′ve got here, about leaving it behind
About the hours that I spend here, is it really what I want?
He had to do this at least once

I say: man, you must be kidding me, after all the work I've done
He says: maybe that′s the problem, you're not having any fun
Go and get your stuff together, go to California
You've got to go there at least once
You′ve got to do this at least once

We′ll just try
You and I
We'll just drive around
Where better times are hard to find
Where better times are hard to find
Where better times are hard to find
Where better times are hard to find
