[Verse 1]

I remember your guitar in the early 2000s

Shifted your weight from side to side and called it dancin'

Up on the ground level stage of local legends

I'm looking for the song through the smoke and distortion

[Chorus]

And I know

Forgiveness is a long shot but I'll try anyway

Forgiveness is a long shot but I'll try anyway

Forgiveness is a long shot but I'll try

[Verse 2]

Everyone cuts their teeth on the way to Possum Kingdom

We sat on the car and traced the skyline with our fingers

Before the long drive from LA back to Dallas

Cutting your losses, you made up your mind

[Chorus]

And I know

It's always been a long shot but you tried anyway

It's always been a long shot but you triеd anyway

(I'll tell you, there's nothin' that I can do)

It's always been a long shot but you triеd anyway

(I'll tell you, there's nothin' that I can do)

It's always been a long shot but you tried

(I'll tell you, there's nothin' that I can do)

[Outro]

And I know

Forgiveness is a long shot but I'll try anyway

It's always been a long shot but you tried anyway

Forgiveness is a long shot
