Lyrics

Match Bet

But man he ain't bright
Well the feast was ripe
And it's running tonight
Couple betting slips in my hand
Have you ever heard of this band?
With a red wire and a blue wire
Well they all look the same to me

I don't know which one to cut
With my history there is no luck
With a red wire and a blue wire
Well they all look the same to me

Pull out the slip and talk to me
Pull out the slip and humor me
Pull out the slip and talk to me
Pull out the slip and humor me

Red wire
Blue wire
Get the cutter
Come on and fix me up
Red wire
Blue wire
Get the cutter
Come on and fix me up

Come on, fix me up
Come on, fix me up

Match bet, all of the time
Racing horses 'round my mind
Match bet, all of the time
Racing horses 'round my mind
Match bet, all of the time
Racing horses 'round my mind
Match bet, all of the time
Racing horses 'round my mind

Match bet, all of the time
Racing, racing horses 'round my mind
Match bet, all of the time
Racing, racing horses 'round my mind
Match bet, all of the time
Racing, racing horses 'round my mind
Match bet, all of the time
Racing, racing horses 'round my mind
Match bet, all of the time
Never see the racing horses when they run into mine
