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 holding 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
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
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
