(S. Cook)
|
If maybe you'd move over,
|
Gave someone else a chance to try their luck;
|
Instead, you run up closer,
|
Try'n to grab a page before they close the book.
|
CHORUS:
|
It was over 'fore it started, seemed so long when we began
|
Hope you take it like a friend.
|
It's a shame to see you cryin', wouldn't think to way back when,
|
Looks like I'll never hear the end.
|
|
Thought you had the honor,
|
Took special pride in all your well laid plans.
|
Forgot about the others,
|
We moved out t'ward the light showin' empty hands.
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Ah, put the boot down! Mm-hm!
|
|
Love to be the winner.
|
Gather up your chips in time to cash 'em in.
|
We're all lookin' thinner,
|
Playin' cards too close for either one to win.
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Woa oh oh oh...
|
It's a shame to see you cryin', wouldn't think to way back when,
|
Hope you take it like a friend.
|
Yeah eah eah eah...
