High Stakes - Michael Martin Murphey

In between the Earth and sky

Not too low and not too high you’re all alone

In the unknown

Don’t look back and don’t take stock

Let it wheel and let it rock, let it go

Get in the zone

When you’re coming round the curb

And you start to lose your nerve take it there

Don’t be scared, stomp the pedal to the floor

Give it just a little more you’re almost there

You’re almost there

You don’t understand the cards you’re holding in your hand

Starts to shake, high stakes

You’re feeling like a fool cause you’re breaking every rule

But it feels great, high stakes

When you’re feeding to the fire

And the flames are rushing higher

And it gets hot, give it all you got

When they’re tearing down your name

Boy don’t be ashamed, get in the game

Don’t take the blame

Heaven is so close, and hell is there for those who wait around

Don’t wait around, you gotta stand up and fight

If you know what’s right stand your ground

You don’t understand the cards you’re holding in your hand

Starts to shake, high stakes

You’re feeling like a fool cause you’re breaking every rule

But it feels great, high stakes

Yeah you did great, high stakes

You don’t understand the cards you’re holding in your hand

Starts to shake, high stakes

You’re feeling like a fool cause you’re breaking every rule

But it feels great, high stakes

Yeah you did great, high stakes

High stakes
