"The Green Light" lyrics

Ernest Tubb and His Texas Troubadours Lyrics

"The Green Light"

I turned your hole card upside down
I caught you cheating and running around
There's a smile upon your face while another takes my place
And now at last, dear, the truth I've found

Babe, there's a green light, you're free to go
You take the high road, I'll take the low
Now, here's your coat and shoes and don't forget your blues
You're on canoe now, you'll have to row

Babe, there's a green light, so shift your gear
I know you fooled me for all these years
I'll hold my head up high and forget you by and by
And there'll be laughter instead of tears

Babe, there's a green light, kick up your heels
There'll come a day you'll know how it feels
To have your aces trumped and be taken for a chump
Now there's a green light, so spin your wheels

Babe, there's a green light, kick up your heels
There'll come a day you'll know how it feels
To have your aces trumped and be taken for a chump
Now there's a green light, so spin your wheels
