lyrics

Another
Rick Parnell

Caught by the ankle
At a twist in the road
She lunged for my soul
It had already been sold

There was a hole near my heart
So I welcomed her in
I offered her whiskey
She'd brought her own gin

Chorus:

And I swore I'd never touch another
Just one more chance
I'll never touch another

She drank till she couldn't
Even dance any more
I laughed till she cried
and my face met the floor

What she said cut through me
Like a mother's dying curse
hanging in the darkness
cornered by the hurt

Chorus:

I swore I'd never touch another
Just one more chance
I'll never touch another

She was gone in the morning
What she'd taken she'd left
I should have eaten
Though hungry felt best

The trail she'd left me
was already cold
From where I was now
I could never get home

Chorus:

I swore I'd never touch another
Just one more chance
I'll never touch another

Well chances come
As chances are
Roads get crooked
At the bottom of a jar

I surely knew of the others
In the end we're all doomed
Swept by the current
or under the broom

Chorus:

I swore I'd never touch another
Just one more chance
I'll never touch another

I swore I'd never touch another
Just one more chance
I'll never touch another

Never another
