Lyrics

Lost a mattress heading out of town
Got your elbow on it keeping it from falling down
It’ll be another minute till your friend pulls up
To load it on the bed of the pickup truck
A hundred yards further on the highway shoulder
Bearing the weight of all the other furniture
You moved out of the house that you shared with her
Not sleeping well
how can people be so sure
Love always feels like a gamble
Everybody tells you not to show your hand
So every time you feel like you ain’t bluffing
You count the odds and take your cards and
get out while you can
So keep the defrost on and keep on driving south
At least you never made another hungry mouth
Got your freedom and the radio and whiskey sours
Never buy another damn bouquet of flowers
Seen folks stay together and you’ve seen ‘em split
Sleeping in the same bed doesn’t make it fit
A mattress hits the asphalt and a fracture grows
And everyone’s unhappy either way it goes
Love always feels like a gamble
Everybody tells you not to show your hand
So every time you feel like you ain’t bluffing
You count the odds and take your cards and
get out while you can
Every time you see her eyes
remind yourself you’ve got the sky to love
It’s so much bigger
And when you’ve lost your reasons why
remind yourself you won’t be losing fights
Or feeling bitter
Love always feels like a gamble
Everybody tells you not to show your hand
So every time you feel like you ain’t bluffing
You count the odds and take your cards and
You count the odds and take your cards and
get out while you can
