Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I put my money in the suitcase
And headed for the big race
I felt a chill on my backbone
As I hung up the telephone
[Verse 2]
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
To lose means trouble, to win pays double
And I got me a heavy bet
[Verse 3]
Cold, cold sweat
[Verse 4]
They say chances on the outside
Are looking pretty slim
I feel so lucky on the inside
I feel I'm going to win
[Verse 5]
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
Take a little money, there's nothing left to lose
And I got me a heavy bet
[Verse 6]
Cold, cold sweat
[Verse 7]
I've got a whole month's wages
I haven't seen that much in ages
I might spend it in stages
And move out to Las Vegas
[Verse 8]
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Running down the back of my neck
To lose means trouble, to win pays double
And I have me a heavy bet
[Verse 9]
Cold, cold sweat
[Verse 10]
I put my money in the suitcase
They say chances on the outside
I've got a whole month's wages
[Verse 11]
Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
Stone cold crazy, place another bet
