I'm gonna rob that Mesa Verde bank
Think I'd 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 'em 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
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
