I turn your hole card upside down

I caught you cheatin' and runnin' around

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

And now at last dear the truth I'd found



Babe there's the green light you're free to go

You'll take a high road I'll take the low

Here's your coat and shoes and don't forget your blues

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

[ fiddle - guitar ]

Babe there's the green light 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

[ steel ]

Babe there's the 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 the green light so spin your wheels
