One Too Many 3:04
ONE TOO MANY
V-1
The walls are closing in, he's got those thoughts again,
To end it all would surely end the pain.
Now, he knows the costs, Brother Sister's he has lost,
But, the pills the drugs are driving him insane.
Pre-Chorus
A Veteran feeling lost and empty,
'cuse, twenty-two a day's too heavy.
Yet, One Today, is One Too Many.
Chorus
Now, Twenty-two a day, a number that I read,
Folks look the other way, they shake their heads.
The shame of a Nation, and we've got plenty.
If he was the only one - Then, One's Too Many.
Bridge
Families and loved ones see him every day,
They reach for him talk to him, so he don't slip away.
V-2
So, my wish for today his nightmares go away,
And he can find quiet peaceful sleep.
He's been on his knees, for a Victory.
Or a small sign, Lord that's all he needs.
Pre-Chorus
Hanging by a thread the Devil envies.
'Cuse twenty-two and day's too heavy.
Yet, One Today is - One Too Many.
So, America if we're the land of plenty,
Then, One Today is - One Too Many.
One Too Many
One Too Many
One Too Many
One Too Many...
