I turn your hole card upside down I caught you cheatin' and runnin' around

There's a smile upon your face for another takes my place

And now at last dear the truth I'd found

Babe there's a green light you're free to go you'll take a high road I'll take the low

Now here's your coat and shoes and don't forget your blues

You're on canoe now you'll have to row

[ guitar ]

Babe there's a green light so shift your gear I know you fooled me for all these years

I'll hold my head up high and forget you by and by

And there'll be laughter instead of tears

Babe there's a green light kick up your heels

There'll come a day you know how it feels

To have your aces trump and be taken for a chump

Now there's a green light so spin your wheels

[ steel ]

Babe there's a green light...
