Well you know I was always the first to arrive at the party Oh, and the last to leave the scene of the crime Well it started with a couple of beers And it went I don't know how many years Like a runaway train headed for the end of the line Well I finally got around to admit that I might have a problem But I thought it was just too damn big of a mountain to climb Well I got down on my knees and said: Hey! I just can't go on living this way Guess I have to learn to live my life one day at a time Oh, yeah! One day at a time Oh, yeah! One day at a time Oh, yeah! One day at a time Oh, yeah! One day at a time Well I finally got around to admit that I was the problem When I used to put the blame on everybody's shoulders but mine All the friends I used to run with are gone Lord, I hadn't planned on living this long But I finally learned to live my life one day at a time It was something I was too blind to see I got help from something greater than me And today I learned to live my life one day at a time
