Western Centuries Double Or Nothing
[Verse 1]
Oh Lord, there she goes
She turns her back and walks away
It all comes as no surprise
For it happens everyday
I knew I had lost
When our lonely eyes did meet
I'd bring all the things she'd ask
And she'd bring me to my knees
[Verse 2]
But I'm gonna bet it on a sure thing
That tonight she calls me up
And says ‘babe I'm the one that was wrong
I don't want us to give up
She said ‘it's sweet and it touched my soul'
She said ‘I want the same as you'
‘Someone to keep my fears at bay
And a love that could be true.'
[Pre-Chorus]
But in the morning she'll be gone…oh
And like the morning before I'm all alone
Holding on to nothing gets so old...oh
I think I found a new place where I can go
[Chorus]
Way up on the hill
Where I see the city lights
Some folks come from miles around
Just to dance into the night
I'll go there too
I'm gonna fall in love again
Put double or nothing on this broken heart
This time I know I'll win
[Verse 3]
My heart's on the ground
It got dropped and broke to pieces
And every time I hear you tell me you love me
Like a fool I do believe it
If youth is wasted on the young
We waste that wisdom on the aged
I should've learned these lessons long ago
Back when my heart could take it
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't no quitter, that's for sure...oh
No time to pine away or walk the floor
Holding on to nothing gets so old...oh
I think I found a new place where I can go
[Chorus]
Way up on the hill
Where I see the city lights
Some folks come from miles around
Just to dance into the night
I'll go there too
I'm gonna fall in love again
Put double or nothing on this broken heart
This time I know I'll win
Put double or nothing on this broken heart
This time I know I'll win
