Go For Broke

(album: The Earth, A Small Man, His Dog And A Chicken - 1990)

My life is runnin like a stock car race
High speed and lots of curves
Keep the pedal to the metal, win or lose
But don't lose your nerve
Some people live in fear
If you can call that living
I'm gonna keep my ass in gear
And take the chance I'm given
I'm gonna go for broke, play to win
Do or die, just don't give in
Take a shot, roll the dice
Don't look back, just go for broke

My love is spinning like a steering wheel
Just grab it and hold on tight
Feel the power in your hands
Take me right to the edge tonight
Some people love in vain
If you can call that lovin
So let's hit the streets again
It's all or nothin

[Chorus]

Standing on the razor's edge
But I'm not going under
Every night I'm on the line
Livin like my days are numbered
