well i woke up to a ragin' fire inside my head
wishin' i could stay all day a-lyin' in this bed
as last night pours itself into tomorrow’s cup
the smell of whiskey just reminds that my time is almost up
and i’m bettin' on that 10-1
and i’m bettin' on that lucky shot
i’m hopin' that you’ll see past the man that i am not
my money’s ridin' on the chance
that our love’s that lucky star
but 'why not' i ask you girl
because it’s gotten us this far
cuz sometimes it seems like it’s us against the world
and i’m lookin' in the deep blue, for a long lost pearl
as the daylight’s slippin' into night i...see the colors of the sky
and i know another day will come if we will only try
and i’m betting on that 10-1
and i’m betting on that lucky shot
and i’m hoping that you’ll see past the man that i am not
my money’s riding on the chance
that our love’s that lucky star
but why not i ask you girl
because it’s gotten us this far
the reason it happened don’t matter anymore
and the love at first sight ,sometimes sees us to the door
but i’m stayin' even if, you don’t want me here no more
because i’m your lovin' man, yes i’m your dark horse
cuz i’m betting on that 10-1
and i’m betting on that lucky shot
and i’m hoping that you’ll see past the man that i am not
my money’s riding on the chance
that our love’s that lucky star
but why not i ask you girl
because it’s gotten us this far
