Lyrics
Don't Bet Your Bottom Dollar
©1988 Karel Daniels
I'm tired of chasing after dreams
That never will come true
I'm tired of crawling on my knees
Chasing after you
You say I've got the best of you
Well, that ain't good enough
You laugh when I say that we're through
Hey - You can call my bluff
Chorus: But don't bet your bottom -- dollar
You'll be left without a dime
I'm walkin' head first out the door
I'm leavin' you this time
You can hem 'n - - holler
I don't really care
But don't bet your bottom dollar
Cuz babe I'm outta here
You've come and gone without a word
I always took you back
I need to turn my life around
Get on a different track
You may think that I'm kidding you
I wouldn't laugh just yet
But if you want to wager then
Mister, place your bet
Chorus: But don't bet your bottom -- dollar
You'll be left without a dime
I'm walkin' head first out the door
I'm leavin' you this time
You can hem 'n -- holler
I don't really care
But don't bet your bottom dollar
Cuz babe I'm outta here
Take your "Aw come-ons" and "I was wrongs"
'n "Thought you wouldn't mind..."
Wrap 'em in that dimpled grin
'n Stick 'em where the sun don't shine
Chorus: But don't bet your bottom -- dollar
You'll be left without a dime
I'm walkin' head first out the door
I'm leavin' you this time
You can hem 'n -- holler
I don't really care
But don't bet your bottom dollar
Cuz babe I'm outta here
