Odds of Getting Even

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

Counted the days I waited

Shuffling cards cleaning tables

If you’ve got a heart you’ve got to play it

You only feel it when it’s racing

Come the morning I’ll be leaving

It’s too late in the evening 

To play the odds of getting even

There’s this field, I gotta find it

With a horse running wild 

Every night I run beside it

Someday I’m gonna ride it

Out in the air 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 sideline

Come the morning I’ll be leaving

It’s too late in the evening 

To play the odds of getting even

You can hold it without showing

But the cracks will keep on growing

And I hear they don't let no one

Bring a grudge where I'm going

I don’t have time for crying

I might be falling or flying

I might be water or lightning

When I watch that gold sun rising

Come the morning I’ll be leaving

It’s too late in the evening 

To play the odds of getting even

Can’t you feel the ground turning

Can’t you feel the hours burning

O the odds of getting even

Will no longer be my burden
