mike cross - don't need another hit lyrics

Loading...

i was perched on a stool down at riley’s bar
watchin’ a ball game on tv
it was kinda quiet for a sat-rday night
and i was just getting ready to leave
i was feelin pretty good thinkin maybe i should
just go back home and read
but when i put my gl-ss down
ol’ riley came around
and said “have one on me.”

‘i don’t need another hit, i know when to quit’
a voice inside me said
‘i’m smart enough to know
when it’s time for me to go
i oughta quit while i’m ahead’
be careful how you play
or you know someday
you might just wake up dead

i don’t need another hit, i know when to quit

but my mouth said “go ahead!”

it was 4 o’clock, all the doors were locked
and a blackjack game was on
my luck was pretty hot, i’d won a few pots
and i was thinkin’ ’bout headin’ for home

“just one more hand” i said to the man
as he dealt me a seventeen

but the dealer showed a nine so i took my time
when he asked if i would hit or freeze

‘i don’t need another hit, i know when to quit’
a voice inside me said
‘i’m smart enough to know
when it’s time for me to go

i oughta quit while i’m ahead’
be careful how you play
or you know someday

you might just wake up dead
i don’t need another hit, i know when to quit
but my mouth said “go ahead.”

well i couldn’t stand on a losing hand
so i stuck around the rest of the night
my luck went so bad i lost all i had
i got mad and i started a fight

the guy i attacked knocked me flat on my back
and as i got up off the floor
he said “do you wanna leave here in one piece
or do you wanna come back for more?”

‘i don’t need another hit, i know when to quit’
a voice inside me said
‘i’m smart enough to know
when it’s time for me to go
i oughta quit while i’m ahead’
oh be careful how you play
or you know someday
you might just wake up dead
“i don’t need another hit, i know when to quit”
my big mouth finally said
“i don’t need another hit, i know when to quit”
my big mouth, my big mouth finally said
