You said you’d tell me When the time was right for leaving Always told me That I’d be the first to know I played for keeps But I was only self deceiving Why lift me up When you had planned to lay me low? Yeah if you planned to let me go
Well I’m just a man Got me some wit but not much wisdom I roll the dice But that’s just pride before a fall My door is open If you call you’re always welcome Just don’t forget to read the writing on the wall
Some may rise Some may fall I’ll take my chances Play the cards where they may fall Some you win Some you lose But I’ll keep believing While I sing the white boy blues
Got me a plan I’m gonna head for the horizon Won’t turn around Till I’m not sure of what I’ll find Make no mistake For all your love I’m truly grateful But there comes a time And now this fox has gone to ground
Don’t you imagine If you call you’re gonna find me Don’t you believe That I believe a word you say All of the time That I have wasted is behind me Now I’m looking forward To a new and brighter day
