One Hit Song Lyrics

In a barroom in Kentucky my old band mates and me

We bumped fists and reminisced and started talkin free

We talked about the good old days and how we lived life fast

No time to smell the roses our life was flying past

Then Jimmy said there's just one thing in life I haven't done

I want to write just one hit song before I'm dead and gone

I want one hit song before I die

One hit song before I say my last goodbye

It ain't about the money

I know that may sound funny

Just one hit song before I die

Sittin on the porch my wife says something's wrong with you

There's been no hanky panky and your guitar's sounding blue

It makes me sad when you feel bad, and then she starts to cry

I smiled and told her pretty soon I'll hang my guitar high

It's true that there is just one thing missing in my life

I thought about what Jimmy said, here's what I told my wife

I want one hit song before I die

One hit song before I hang my guitar high

It ain't about the money

You know I love you honey

Just want one hit song before I die

Neil Diamond's got Sweet Caroline, and then he had that Red Red Wine

Willie Nelson's Always on my mind

I'll rack my brain until I find that last song that I'll leave behind

So sing along with me just one more time

Drum bit here

I want one hit song before I die

One hit song before I say my last goodbye

It ain't about the money

I know that may sound funny

Just one hit song before I die

I want one hit song before I die

One hit song before I say my last goodbye

It ain't about the money

I know that may sound funny

Just one hit song before I die

I want one hit song before I die
