The Odds Of Getting Even
[Verse 1]
What are the odds of getting even?
What is the cost of dreaming?
I've carried the cross of believing
Asking God for a reason

[Verse 2]
Counted the days I waited
Shuffling cards, cleaning tables
If I got a heart, I gotta play it
You only feel it when it's racing

[Chorus]
Come morning I'll be leaving
It's too late in the evening
To play the odds of getting even

[Verse 3]
There is a field, I gotta find it
There is this horse, running wild
Every night I run beside it
And someday, I'm gonna ride it
[Verse 4]
Out in the hay, out in the moonlight
You'll be a flash in the back of my mind
Placing your bets, watching the mud fly
Rolling your dice back on the sidelines

[Chorus]
Come morning I'll be leaving
It's too late in the evening
To play the odds of getting even

[Verse 5]
You can hold it without showing
But I the cracks will keep on growing
And I hear they don't let no one
Carry a grudge where I'm going

[Verse 6]
I don't have time for the crying
I might be falling or flying
I might be water or lightning
When I watch the gold sun rising

[Chorus]
Come morning I'll be leaving
It's too late in the evening
To play the odds of getting even
[Verse 7]
Can't you feel the ground a'turning
Can't you feel the hours burning
Oh, the odds of getting even
Will no longer be my burden

[Outro]
Will no longer be my burden
