Whole stage is set like always
Won’t be long before I’m gone
See them coming through the doorway
Wonderin’ whose side they are on
So I take one shot in the darkness
And move along

I was on the way to Memphis
Got no love from Caroline
How much longer can I do this?
Leaving half my heart behind
It takes one shot in the darkness
To change my mind

And the years are passing by me
Oh, the years are running on
The fire below is coming and it won’t be long

Got enough left just to get there
Not enough to make it through
If I cannot live without this
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
So I’ll take one more shot in the darkness
Aim for you
Oh, I’ll take one more shot in the darkness
Ooh
