Too Much To Lose - Gordon Lightfoot

Pardon me if I’m leaving in a hurry

Can’t you see

There’s too much to lose for me to stay around

I’ve played your game obeyed your rules

The best that I know how

Gonna get out while the game don’t get me down

It’s been a long long day and now it’s gone gone

I won’t see you again before dawn

There’s too much to lose for me to stay around

So I’ll just cash in the chips and leave this town

Pardon me if I don’t turn back or even say goodbye

I surely have enjoyed your cup of tea

Got no more time to gamble on a thing that ain’t too sure

If you ever feel that you should want to get in touch somehow

Forget it — that’s all in yesterday.

Forgiving is to lovers as trusting is to fools

And of losing there is nothing I can say

It’s been a long long day and now it’s gone gone

I won’t see you again before dawn

There’s too much to lose for me to stay around

So I’ll just cash in the chips and leave this town

It’s been a long long day and now it’s gone gone

I won’t see you again before dawn

There’s too much to loose for me to stay around

So I’ll just cash in the chips and leave this town

Well I’ll just cash in the chips and leave this town
