Good Enough to Lose

Verse

Walked in wearing thunder, boots like a drumbeat,

Neon turned to honey when she crossed the street.

Had four aces folded, cool as a stone,

Then she smiled at the bar and my whole hand was blown.

Pre-Chorus

Now what's a man to do

When the house always wins with you?

I keep on playing, can't walk away

Chorus

You're good enough to lose,

Good enough to bet my last two dollars and my Sunday shoes.

Roll them dice, watch me choose

The kind of trouble a smart man wouldn't refuse.

Deal me heartache, I ain't gonna cry the blues,

You're good enough to lose.

Verse

She poured the whiskey slow like she owned the clock,

Every laugh she gave me stopped my pocket watch.

Table full of players but she only dealt to me,

Lost my winning streak, gained a symphony.

Pre-Chorus

Now what's a man to do

When the house always wins with you?

I keep on playing, can't walk away

Chorus

You're good enough to lose,

Good enough to bet my last two dollars and my Sunday shoes.

Roll them dice, watch me choose

The kind of trouble a smart man wouldn't refuse.

Deal me heartache, I ain't gonna cry the blues,

You're good enough to lose.

Bridge

Maybe love ain't poker, maybe there's no bluff,

Maybe losing everything is finally enough.

I'll cash in my chips, lay my cards down flat,

Bet the farm on a woman like that.

Chorus

You're good enough to lose,

Good enough to bet my last two dollars and my Sunday shoes.

Roll them dice, watch me choose

The kind of trouble a smart man wouldn't refuse.

Deal me heartache, I ain't gonna cry the blues,

You're good enough to lose.
