John Hartford - Don't Ever Take Your Eyes Off The Game, Babe lyrics

Don't ever take your eye off the game - babe, if you don't want your deal to go down Don't try to get away on a sunny day - that's the time to hang around Well they might try to tell you that there ain't nothing wrong Then the sheet gets short where it should've been long And we're sittin' round a-singin' that old time song - called don't let your deal go down All together now (Chorus) Don't let your deal go down (x 3) Till your last old dollar is gone Don't never take your eye off the scoreboard babe - there's a lot of pretty lights up there Don't never bet your a** on a snow white horse - it might not be going anywhere Now I don't need - to make you sad, you're having the best time - that you ever had It's just your nature to wanna be bad - just don't let your deal go down All together now (chorus) I'm sorry that I said what I said last night - I've been super paranoid of late And with things going down the way they've been - it was the only way I could communicate Sometimes its alright but nobody knows when the things you rely on just ain't so Til the times get better that's the way I gotta go if I don't want my deal to go down All together now
