[Chorus]
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It take the shine off his shoes
He says it's a shame
"You know, it may be a game
Ah, but I won't play to lose"

[Verse 1]
He's burning the grass
He take up a glass
He swallow it neat
He crosses the floor
He open the door
He take a sniff of the street

[Bridge]
And she tell him that he's crazy
She's a-saying
"Hey baby, I'm your wife"
Yeah, she tell him that he's crazy
For gambling a-with his life [Verse 2]
But he climbs on his horse
You know he feel no remorse
He just a-kicks it alive
His motor is fine
He take it over the line
Until he's ready to dive

[Bridge]
And she tell him that he's crazy
Yes, she's saying
"Listen baby, I'm your wife"
Yeah, she tell him that he's crazy
For gambling a-with his life

[Chorus]
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It take the shine off his shoes
He says it's a shame
"You know, it may be a game
Ah, but I won't play to lose"

[Outro]
He sticks to his guns
He take the road as it comes
It take the shine off his shoes
He's too fast to stop
He take it over the top
He make a line in the news
