One By One - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Came of age racing round the Georgia hills

Grew tall and straight around the backwood stills

You could do anything on the court and field

But you preferred getting high on the roof of the motel

One by one, all the living that we done

How the days, they seemed so long and true

One by one, all the whiskey that got drunk

Nothing ever felt as good as you

I saw you first from the back of the room

We drank together by the light of the moon

Built a fire and slept when the ground choosеs you

And wake up with the morning sun

One by onе, all the living that we done

How the days, they seemed so long and true

One by one, all the whiskey that got drunk

Nothing ever felt as good as you

But can you give us all a sign?

I don't know how to let go or hold tighter still

Remember when you were mine

But now it's all over, no chance to reconsider

I want to call you in from the outside

I want to call you in for dinner

But you're not there, you're not there

What do I do with the years I have left that don't belong to you?

One by one, all the living that he done

How the days, they seemed so long and true

One by one, all the whiskey that got drunk

Nothing ever felt as good as you

Let's get a jump on this, before it's too late

Can we love each other harder before we all fade away?

If there's any way that we can live without you

It's to live with all the love that you gave
