Mike Cross - Don't Need Another Hit şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Mike Cross

albüm: Carolina Sky


I was perched on a stool down at Riley's Bar
Watchin' a ball game on TV
It was kinda quiet for a Saturday night
And I was just getting ready to leave
I was feelin pretty good thinkin maybe I should
Just go back home and read
But when I put my glass down
Ol' Riley came around
And said "Have one on me."
'I don't need another hit, I know when to quit'
A voice inside me said
'I'm smart enough to know
When it's time for me to go
I oughta quit while I'm ahead'
Be careful how you play
Or you know someday
You might just wake up dead
I don't need another hit, I know when to quit
But my mouth said "Go ahead!"
It was 4 o'clock, all the doors were locked
And a blackjack game was on
My luck was pretty hot, I'd won a few pots
And I was thinkin' 'bout headin' for home
"Just one more hand" I said to the man
As he dealt me a seventeen
But the dealer showed a nine so I took my time
When he asked if I would hit or freeze
'I don't need another hit, I know when to quit'
A voice inside me said
'I'm smart enough to know
When it's time for me to go
I oughta quit while I'm ahead'
Be careful how you play
Or you know someday
You might just wake up dead
I don't need another hit, I know when to quit
But my mouth said "Go ahead."
Well I couldn't stand on a losing hand
So I stuck around the rest of the night
My luck went so bad I lost all I had
I got mad and I started a fight
The guy I attacked knocked me flat on my back
And as I got up off the floor
He said "Do you wanna leave here in one piece
Or do you wanna come back for more?"
'I don't need another hit, I know when to quit'
A voice inside me said
'I'm smart enough to know
When it's time for me to go
I oughta quit while I'm ahead'
Oh be careful how you play
Or you know someday
You might just wake up dead
"I don't need another hit, I know when to quit"
My big mouth finally said
"I don't need another hit, I know when to quit"
My big mouth, my big mouth finally said
