"One Step Ahead of the Blues"
Written by: Terry Herd & Rhonda Vincent
As performed by: Rhonda Vincent & Alison Krauss
Album: One Step Ahead

(C)Sometimes I feel confident like I'm in control

Rollin' hot in Vegas and landin' every roll

But (F)lately I ain't winnin', it's snake eyes everytime

I'm (C)losin' and I'm (G)down to my last (C)dime

CHORUS:

Now (F)everyday I hope and pray to (C)make it through one more

As the (F)winter wind rushes in and (G)chills me to the core

I've (F)lost so much that nothin' is (C)all I've got to (F)lose

It's (C)one day till tomorrow and I'm (G)one step ahead of the (C)blues

Don't tell me that I'll be alright that's somethin' you don't know
Or tell me not to be uptight and not to let it show
My confidence is slidin' this I know is true
I'm barely just one step ahead of the blues

CHORUS x 2

It's one day till tomorrow and I'm one step ahead of the blues
