One More Shot by The Levon Helm Band Lyrics

For too long now I've been at this game
A-riding like hell through the wind and rain
Robbing bankers
And pullman cars
My lungs are choked with the dust of the road
Says Frank's been gone it's a heavy load
And my bones are broke
And my body's scarred...

[Chorus:]
One more shot just for old times
One last stand
One more hit ought to do it
Then I quit while I can
Who's that a-knocking on my back door
It looks like Bob and Charlie Ford
How are you doing boys
Well a-come on in
I ain't seen a friend in so damn long
The life I lead leaves me on my own
Just a-lying low
It's got me restless again
[Chorus]
I'm fixing to buy me a little farm
Get my wife and children out of harm
And danger and then a-settle down
Well hell I ain't eaven wearing a gun
And I haven't done that in so damn long
It feels good boys to have you around
[Talk:]
Now's our chance Charlie
Think of the money
I feel real nervious Bob
Hell I'll do it
His back's turned
[Bang]
Jesse? Jesse!

[Chorus]
One more shot just for old times
One last stand
One more hit ought to do it
Then quit while we can
[repeat till end]
