Old coin on the table
But looks as good as gold
He flips up high then smiles and says
Just pick the one you want

What am I to do now?
Was taken by surprise
One minute I was sippin' wine
Now I'm gamblin' for my life

My folks long gone a long time
But God what would they say?
To see me standing here with almost two feet in my grave

A voice inside it whispers
We're about to cross that line
That separates the right from wrong
The seer from the blind

Supposing I do nothing
Supposing I just run
Well better that than staring down the barrel of his gun

My love long gone a long time
If she could see me now
The spider's caught a fly and I just can't see a way out

I'm cautious just by nature
But caution's come and gone
The situation that I'm in defies logic and reason

My life it skips a heartbeat
A flash before my eyes
It seems like I've been waiting for this day all of my life

I'm sorry that I scared you
I'm sorry please forgive
The point is that you never know who might come a knockin'
