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
