About The Song
On this date (Oct. 9) in 1993, chances are good that Vince Gill was celebrating. It was that day that his single “One More Last Chance” became his third No. 1 hit.
The comedic “One More Last Chance,” which Gill wrote with famed tunesmith Gary Nicholson, comes from Gill’s multi-platinum-selling album I Still Believe in You. That record spawned four chart-topping hits, with “One More Last Chance” staying on the charts for 20 weeks.
The tune’s accompanying music video features Gill and several of his band members on a golf course, with Gill arriving on a John Deere tractor. The hysterical skit is a reference to George Jones, who once famously rode his lawnmower to a liquor store. The Possum, not afraid to poke fun at himself, made a cameo in Gill’s video, also riding a lawnmower to the course.
That year, 1993, was a big one for Gill: In addition to “One More Last Chance” hitting the No. 1 spot, he also won a handful of awards, including the ACM Awards trophy for Top Male Vocalist and five CMA Awards, including the night’s highest honor, Entertainer of the Year.

Lyrics
She was standing at the front door
When I came home last night
A good book in her left hand
And a rollin’ pin in the right
She said you’ve come home for the last time
With whiskey on your breath
If you don’t listen to my preachin’ boy
I’m goin’ to have to beat you half to death
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we’re through
I know I drive you crazy baby
It’s the best that I can do
We’re just some good ol’ boys, a makin’ noise
I ain’t a runnin’ ’round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we’re through
First she hid my glasses
‘Cause she knows that I can’t see
She said you ain’t goin’ nowhere boy
‘Til you spend a little time with me
Then the boys called from the honky tonk
Said there’s a party goin’ on down here
Well she might’ve took my car keys
But she forgot about my old John Deere
So give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we’re through
I know I drive you crazy baby
It’s the best that I can do
We’re just some good ol’ boys, a makin’ noise
I ain’t a runnin’ ’round on you
Give me just a one more last chance
Before you say we’re through
