Game I Can't Win

[Verse 1]

I'm gonna rob that Mesa Verde bank

Think I'll take it just as fast as I can

That old-time feeling just up and walked away

Left me with these interest rates

Them boys in Nashville, they don't mess around

Better watch 'em when your deal goes down

Gotta play along, let 'em lead you by the hand

And they love it when you don't understand

[Chorus]

You didn't hear it from me

They can't stand to see you free

Your check ain't never coming in

I've always loved a game I can’t win

[Verse 2]

Baby, I love you more than you can know

I hate it when my pride don't let it show

God only knows why that woman's got my back

She makes up for all that I lack

[Chorus]

You didn't hear it from me

They don't like it when you're free

Your check ain't ever coming in

I've always loved a game I can't win

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

I put my money on the table

This game I'm playing for keeps

As long as I'm still young and able

I wear them sevens on my sleeve

[Chorus]

You didn't hear it from me

They can't stand to see you free

Your check ain't never coming in

I've always loved a game I can't win

I always love a game I can't win

Yes, I always love a game I can't win
