betting man

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 holdin' 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
