One Time Around Songtext
von Joe Louis Walker

I can hear my father talking, like it was only yesterday
I believe I do remember, every single words that he said
"Don′t let them future you, like they tried to future me"
"Don't let anybody tell you, there ain′t nothing you can't be"
Because I'll tell you right now, you only got one time around

My mother used to tell me, when I start the feeling low, so low
′Fore you start the feeling sorry, there is something you should know
That a quitter never wins, and a winner never quit
You got to keep on pushing, try your best to stick with it
Because I′ll tell you right now, you only got one time around


He wants to ask me, but I've thought they have to do
I say what works good for me, might not work at all for you
So go ahead and live your life, there will be some time that′s right
When those problems come around, don't you let them get you down
Because I′m taking you right now, you only got one time around

You better make it alright, make it alright, son
Make it alright, make it alright
'Cause I′m alright, I'm alright now
'Cause you′re alright, ′cause I'm alright
Early in the morning, I′m alright
Late in the midnight hour, I'm alright

Yeah, yeah
′Cause I'm alright
′Cause you're alright
'Cause you′re alright
