Pardon me if I'm leaving in a hurry
|
Can't you see
|
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
|
|
I've played your game obeyed your rules
|
The best that I know how
|
Gonna get out while the game don't get me down
|
|
It's been a long long day and now it's gone gone
|
I won't see you again before dawn
|
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
|
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
|
|
Pardon me if I don't turn back or even say goodbye
|
I surely have enjoyed your cup of tea
|
Got no more time to gamble on a thing that ain't too sure
|
And the dust-cloud on the edge on town is me
|
|
If you ever feel that you should want to get in touch somehow
|
Forget it - that's all in yesterday.
|
Forgiving is to lovers as trusting is to fools
|
And of losing there is nothing I can say
|
|
It's been a long long day and now it's gone gone
|
I won't see you again before dawn
|
There's too much to lose for me to stay around
|
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
|
|
It's been a long long day and now it's gone gone
|
I won't see you again before dawn
|
There's too much to loose for me to stay around
|
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
|
|
Well I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
|
