I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didn't I?

So many sleepless nights
Where you were waiting up on me
Well I'm just a slave unto the night

Now remember when I told you
That's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears

I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

I've been around the world
And never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you

I've told a million lies
But now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do

Now remember when I told you
That's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears

I know I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you

Don't, tell me that I'm wrong
I've walked that road before
I left you on your own

Please, believe them when they say
That it's left for yesterday
The records that I've played
Please forgive me for all, I've done

So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
