Michael Martin Murphey - High Stakes lyrics

[Verse 1] In between the Earth and sky Not too low and not too high you're all alone In the unknown Don't look back and don't take stock Let it wheel and let it rock, let it go Get in the zone When you're coming round the curb And you start to lose your nerve take it there Don't be scared, stomp the pedal to the floor Give it just a little more you're almost there You're almost there [Chorus] You don't understand the cards you're holding in your hand Starts to shake, high stakes You're feeling like a fool cause you're breaking every rule But it feels great, high stakes [Verse 2] When you're feeding to the fire And the flames are rushing higher And it gets hot, give it all you got When they're tearing down your name Boy don't be ashamed, get in the game Don't take the blame Heaven is so close, and hell is there for those who wait around Don't wait around, you gotta stand up and fight If you know what's right stand your ground [?] [Chorus] You don't understand the cards you're holding in your hand Starts to shake, high stakes You're feeling like a fool cause you're breaking every rule But it feels great, high stakes Yeah you did great, high stakes You don't understand the cards you're holding in your hand Starts to shake, high stakes You're feeling like a fool cause you're breaking every rule But it feels great, high stakes Yeah you did great, high stakes High stakes
