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 walked that road before And left you on your own And please, believe them when they say That's it's left for yesterday The records that I play 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
