At Your Word-the Odds Lyrics

At Your Word-the Odds lyrics

I'll take you at your word

and as far as I can throw you

leave with the baby 

and I hardly even know you



it's gut check time for daddy

when it's loaded and unlocked

got to go in to press some skin

and leave it gleaming in the dock

Would you watch her for me sir, i'll have to



Take you at your word (yeah, yeah)x4



I read up on the stallions

marked an X inside the box

I just want the strong one

not the one who counts and talks

and if you roll the sleeves up on your shirt

I'll take you at your word 



doc's flicking at the barrel

with the needle to the sky

got me counting backwards

as it sinks into my thigh

you said you'd cut me good and I'll have to 



Take you at your word (yeah, yeah) x8



I trust in my abilities

but I want more than they offer

working then gambling like the cycle of water

it's harder to breathe as you're raising the stakes

move, bubble, rise, rain and evaporate



not an atom left to hold me

medicated on the bus

I'm sleeping soundly as we're swerving

but the driver's not I trust

c'mon Big Bopper c'mon Buddy

get in the chopper

hope your boots aren't muddy

she's an airworthy bird, I'll have to



Take you at your word (yeah, yeah) x8



I trust you to be on it

completely bonded and stone cold honest

sure
