Livin' with my back against the wall
Nowhere but forward to fall
Well I close my eyes, somebody will catch my breath
Oh my lord let's get on board
The rides gonna scare me to death
I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance
Come help me Poor Richard
And won't you help me raise the glass
Here's to me and here's to you
May our dreams all come to pass
Cruel trick of time, is played in the wink of an eye
Well heaven's above you don't need no shove
The years go sailing bye, oh
I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance
Another game of chance
A lifetime come and gone
I guess it's up to me
If I don't want to sing another man's song
I wanna say what Grandma said, lying on her dying bed
I ain't been cheated, no mistreated, and I don't have to say that yet, oh
I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance
Another chance
No not another chance
No no another chance
Nowhere but forward to fall
Well I close my eyes, somebody will catch my breath
Oh my lord let's get on board
The rides gonna scare me to death
I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance
Come help me Poor Richard
And won't you help me raise the glass
Here's to me and here's to you
May our dreams all come to pass
Cruel trick of time, is played in the wink of an eye
Well heaven's above you don't need no shove
The years go sailing bye, oh
I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance
Another game of chance
A lifetime come and gone

I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance
Another chance
No not another chance
No no another chance

Not what I expect from TGS, but I like it. Channeling Gram Parsons - not a bad thing.

Good buddy of mine was a guitar tech for these guys for a couple of years back in the day. I was never a big fan myself so only a 7 from me.
such a pleasant dittie from a great band, great to hear!
If you like this song try a guy by the name Tim Bertulli.
Reminds me of the Faces - not bad
GRAT-ING.
Ooh la la
...wow what a crappy song .....all aboard ladies and gentlemen on the last train to Hicksville

Love it!
A few years ago, I played in a pickup band with Mauro Magellan, the drummer. Hell of a great drummer. Even nicer guy. Great to hear him and the Satellites on RP.

Nice to visit the mothership once in awhile...
some more mediocre "country rock" which is fine, I'm sure this group has it's advocates. But if you're gonna hear some "country rock", where in hell is Gram Parsons, fer Godsake?
Apparently Bill had the same idea:10:28 am - Georgia Satellites - Another Chance
10:25 am - Gram Parsons - In My Hour Of Darkness

Painful.
This is worse than the song before it!
This is one of those songs I have not heard in years, but I love it every time I hear it. Reminds me of "ooh la la" by the faces. Thanks for the upload.

Heck yeah! GP would fit so perfectly on RP among all the bands he inspired (Sun Volt, Wilco, etc. etc.)
Who'da thunk it? Kinda cool... I like it.

Shades of Pure Prairie League.
I love this song though I wonder if it's because it kind of reminds me of Ooh La La by Faces which for some reason has yet to have been played on RP
Hmm. Makes me think I'd rather hear the Avett Brothers. 6 tho.

I see by your outfit that you are a Georgian.

Somehow, I'd rather keep it that way.

Hm. Not crazy about this on first listen. A little too much Eagles and not enough Gourds.
