"Game I Can't Win" lyrics

I'm gonna rob that Mesa Verde bank
Think I'll take it just as fast as I can
That old-time feeling just up and walked away
Left me with these interest rates

Them boys in Nashville, they don't mess around
Better watch them when your deal goes down
Gotta play along, let 'em lead you by the hand
And they love it when you don't understand

You didn't hear it from me
They can't stand to see you free
Your check ain't never coming in
I've always loved a game I can't win

Baby, I love you more than you can know
I hate it when my pride don't let it show
God only knows why that woman's got my back
She makes up for all that I lack

You didn't hear it from me
They don't like it when you're free
Your check ain't never coming in
I've always loved a game I can't win

I put my money on the table
This game I'm playing for keeps
As long as I'm still young and able
I wear them sevens on my sleeve

You didn't hear it from me
They can't stand to see you free
Your check ain't never coming in
I've always loved a game I can't win
I always love a game I can't win
Yes, I always love a game I can't win
