Beatin' the Odds - Live

Well, she grabbed me and asked me
If I had a name
She told me she was interested to see
If I could play the game

She said her name was Victory
She didn't want to know the rules
That's just the way I wanted to play
In a game designed for fools

We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds
Beatin' the odds again
We were gambling with our souls, we were playing to win
We were beatin' the odds again
No

I rolled the dice and feel cold as ice
Victory drew the cards
We knew that loosin' when the stakes were high
Could really hit us hard

I strapped into the drivers seat
Miss Victory by my side
She knew at a glance she was takin' a chance
By coming along for the ride

We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds
We were beatin' the odds again
We were gambling with our souls, we were playing to win
We were beatin' the odds again, alright

Yeah, baby
I'm just lookin' that cheap

Let me tell you, time and space stood still that day
With Victory's soul and mine
We were running a race between heaven and hell
But we couldn't find the finish line

And when it was all over
We won it in the end
We were splittin' the prize when she opened her eyes
And said, baby, let's try it again

We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds
Beatin' the odds again
Gambling with our souls, we were playing to win
We were beatin' the odds again

We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds
We were beatin' the odds again
We were gambling with our souls, we were playing to win
We were beatin' the odds again
No

Thank you
We're gonna do a song about a gypsy woman
We met her down at New Orleans
Down at Louisiana
