Fight Night Payoff

كلمات الأغنية

[Verse 1] I cashed my check on Friday Folded it up neat Walked in with a grin on my face And a fire in my seat They said, "Take the favorite" I said, "Nah, I like the blade" Now I'm countin' empty pockets At the end of the parade [Pre-Chorus] The crowd got loud The bell rang hard One clean swing And my whole world got scarred [Chorus] I lost it on the fight night Lost it all by dawn Bet the whole damn paycheck Now the whole thing's gone (whole thing's gone) I was high as the ceiling Now I'm hangin' by a thread Lost it on the fight night Left me short on bread [Verse 2] My buddy kept his mouth shut Till my man hit the floor Then he slapped his knee and laughed Like he'd seen it all before I stared at that felt green table Like it might pay me back But the house just took my pride And my last little stack [Pre-Chorus] The red light flashed The beer got still One wrong call And I know the bill [Chorus] I lost it on the fight night Lost it all by dawn Bet the whole damn paycheck Now the whole thing's gone (whole thing's gone) I was high as the ceiling Now I'm hangin' by a thread Lost it on the fight night Left me short on bread [Bridge] Mama said, "Boy, don't chase that thrill" But I chased it anyway Now I'm eatin' beans and shame Till my luck comes back someday Maybe next time I'll keep my money Maybe next time I won't lie But tonight I'm just that fool With an empty pocket and a bruised-up sky [Chorus] I lost it on the fight night Lost it all by dawn Bet the whole damn paycheck Now the whole thing's gone (whole thing's gone) I was high as the ceiling Now I'm hangin' by a thread Lost it on the fight night Left me short on bread [Outro] Left me short on bread Left me short on bread No more chips left in my hand Just this busted plan
