Pretty girl, when you're tossed, you turn
And all I needed was a way to learn
Mm-hm, one day at a time
You wanted years you could later recall
You shake and tremble with the aftershock
Oh-ho, one day at a time
What's left of a prize possession
We'll cash out in another dimension
Only banking on the world still spinning high
In the palm of my hand
And I'll fly, get about in my getaway van
And we're fine, hear me out, I'm a miracle man
And I won't say anything, I'll keep a secret till I die
And we'll fly, I'll re-live it one day at a time
A stranger guided me into the night
A revelation turned black to white
Mm-hm, one day at a time
You were falling for the words he wrote
But I was busy looking out below
Oh-ho, one day at a time
An opportunity, a valuable lesson
For what I'm worth at a dime a dozen
The wedding bells more appealing on the second chime
Play an opening song and I'll keep it up, keep it up, keep it up
We'll fly, get about in my getaway van
And we're fine, hear me out, I'm a miracle man
And I won't say anything, I'll keep a secret till I die
And we'll fly, I'll re-live it one day at a time
Pretty girl with the broken heart
I saw the future but I went too far
Here's to taking in my last breath
We'll fly, get about in my getaway van
And we're fine, hear me out, I'm a miracle man
And I won't say anything, I'll keep a secret till I die
And we'll fly, I'll re-live it one day at a time
Aim my getaway van at the sun
We'll find, I'm a miracle man on the run
And I can't see anything 'cause I'm living in the day I died
We'll fly, I'll re-live it one day at a time
One day at a time
