lyrics

The Stakes Are High (lyrics and music: Tim Hunter)

I’m a gambler and I loose more than I can afford
I’ve spent everything and now no-one will lend me more
I’ve sold everything even sold my diamond ring
Can’t you see the mess I’m in?

The letter said I’d better get right out of town
I owe so much money now they’re gonna gun me down
I just got divorced she left because I spent it all on a racehorse

You don’t mess round with these guys
when you owe them cash they cut you down to size
