The Hustler Lyrics

The Hustler lyrics

I've got something with me 
My soul's kinda gritty 
Now do I lie or run away 

Engine engine #9 
You get your way 
Or I'll get mine 
Sure as the sun will shine each day 

Just like the apple 
Temptress sets in 
I win you're tackled 
Shackles on my feet won't let me move 

Not soft but supple 
Come with all you got 
My wings won't ruffle 
Victory is sweet but I ain't scared to lose 

[Chorus:]
In my house the moon still shines in the day 
But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay 
In my house feel free to dance like it's May 
But there's a lot 'a old bills I gotta pay 

Tell me can you here me 
No more sittin pretty 
Ain't gone to shun my heart this time 
I know when it really matters 
It'll be me 
Alone and regrets will be none 

Just like the apple 
Temptress sets in 
I win you're tackled 
Shackles on my feet won't let me move 
Not soft but supple 
Come with all you got 
My wings won't ruffle 
Victory is sweet but I ain't scared to lose 

[Chorus]

I'll be on my own 
It don't matter I'm grown 
I won't be singin' no sad song in the lay 
And if I rub you wrong 
Baby I come on strong 
I got no mind to cushion what I say 

[Chorus]
