Betting Man

(album: Dances For The Lonely - 2009)

Well I drank myself to sleep again
Drank myself to sleep again last night
And I woke up in a stranger's arms
I woke up with a stranger's arms holding me tight
I thought of you and me
And what it is we used to be

And if I was a betting man
I'd throw everything I had on you
But I ain't a betting man
God only knows I'm a betting man

You were running through my mind like a steamboat
On a Mississippi riverbed
You were running through my mind like a steamboat
On a Mississippi riverbed

Those words you said, they cut me deep like a lock blade knife
They cut me to the bone
You can only cut a man so deep
'Fore he's gonna wash his hands
I wash my hands of you and me
And what it is we used to be

And if I was a betting man
I'd throw everything I had on you
But I ain't a betting man
God only knows I'm a betting man

You were running through my mind like a steamboat
On a Mississippi riverbed
You were running through my mind like a steamboat
On a Mississippi riverbed
