Grateful Dead - One Thing To Try lyrics

Never get satisfaction cause ya boil too soon

Them downtown chippies know your weight to the ounce

But the harder you fall, Jack, the higher you bounce!

Stoke up your get, be ready to ride

Keep your head and your heart inside

Take it as far as you wanna go

Until we can't see the desert for the burning snow

But if you're in a hurry, I really go to go,

If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow

That it's one thing to try, another to fly,

You get there quicker just a step at a time,

It's one thing to bark and another to bite,

The show ain't over til you pack up at night.

Ah well, ninety-nine people all running around

Not one in a hundred got his feet on the ground,

In fact one in a thousand holding some in reserve

For when the real, true action comes around the curve.

Take care of your people, get some of them fed

Hide the ones in trouble out under your bed

Keep an eye to the future, an ear to the past

Cause after thinkin' it over, know there's nothing much lasts.

So if you're in a hurry, I really go to go

If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow

That it's one thing to try, another to fly,

You get there quicker just a step at a time,

It's one thing to bark and another to bite,

The show ain't over til you pack up at night.

Don't ever let it get the best of you

Plan what you can, let the rest shine through

Just so many angles you can possibly see

Got to figure on those let the other ones be

Don't be a collector of more than you need

Got a lot of things growing but keep watching your seeds

Got to sprout in December what you planted in May

If the harvest is empty, find some other good way

But if you're in a hurry, I really go to go,

If you're in a hurry, might have to find out slow

That it's one thing to try, another to fly,

You get there quicker just a step at a time,

It's one thing to bark and another to bite,

The show ain't over til you pack up at night
