Story behind the song

You only get one trip that you know of...  Written early in our musical career, One Chance is still requested more than most.  If you need a "sit in a dark room and recollect" song, this is it.  I (Dave) took a lot of ribbing on this song (in the studio) because the band felt I sounded like Michael Jackson in the opening verse.  I guess in a "she's out of my life" kinda way I do...  It's still more requested than most...  We hope you will hear it soon.

Lyrics

All the burned out neon lights
Mirrors of my troubled life
Through the streets I roam
'Cause I got no place to call my own
and I lost my direction
and I know the reason why
It's not that I tried and failed
but I failed to try

And I had my shot at fame
strangers almost knew my name
Had I just believed
God only knows where I would be
but I lost my direction
and I know the reason why
It's not that I tried and failed
but I failed to try

So don't lose your direction
Cause you only get one life
It's o.k. to try and fail
but don't fail to try
