Deceiver's Blues

You might lose every dollar you make The cradle will fall and the bank will break You might laugh until you wear that mistake You swore it never happened to you Taking from Peter, give it to Paul It's feeding your family or against the law It all depends on which side you fall On these deceiver's blues Two different rules a man lives by The law of truth, the law of a lie It's up to you, you decide Win or lose, do or die Sometimes I wonder how the good Lord decides Who gets the luck, who gets the struggle and strife Good and evil, wrong and the right I've learned from both the two I never win at any game but mine I learned the hard way when to call it a night If you care to learn, son, I'll teach you right Oh, these deceiver's blues Two different rules a man lives by The law of truth, the law of a lie It's up to you, you decide Win or lose, do or die Two different rules a man lives by The law of truth, the law of a lie It's up to you, you decide Win or lose, do or die You might lose every dollar you make The cradle will fall and the bank will break You might laugh until you wear that mistake Oh, these deceiver's blues Oh, these deceiver's blues Oh, these deceiver's blues But this- That was good fun Yeah That was good, clean American fun
