Testo Don't Need Another Hit - Mike Cross

Testo della canzone Don't Need Another Hit (Mike Cross), tratta dall'album Sugarhill Records: Modern Country

I was perched on a stool down at Riley's bar

Watchin' a ball game on TV

It was kinda quiet for a Saturday night

And I was just gettin' ready to leave

I was feelin' pretty good thinkin' maybe I should

Just go back home and read

But when I put my glass down old Riley came around

And said, "Have one on me"

I don't need another hit, I know when to quit

A voice inside me said

I'm smart enough to know when it's time for me to go

I oughta quit while I'm ahead

Be careful how you play or you know someday

You might just wake up dead

I don't need another hit, I know when to quit

But my mouth said, "Go ahead"

Now by two o'clock Riley had locked the bar

And a blackjack game was on

My luck was pretty hot, I'd won a few pots

And I was thinkin' 'bout headin' for home

"Just one more hand," I said to the man

As he dealt me a seventeen

But the dealer showed a nine so I took my time

When he asked if I would hit or freeze

I don't need another hit, I know when to quit

A voice inside me said

I'm smart enough to know when it's time for me to go

I oughta quit while I'm ahead

Be careful how you play or you know someday

You might just wake up dead

I don't need another hit, I know when to quit

But my mouth said, "Go ahead"

Well you know I couldn't quit on a losin' hand

So I stuck around the rest of the night

My luck went so bad I lost all I had

I got mad and I started a fight

Now the guy I attacked knocked me flat on my back

And as I got up off the floor

He said, "Do you wanna leave here in one piece

Or do you wanna come back for more?"

I don't need another hit, I know when to quit

A voice inside me said

I'm smart enough to know when it's time for me to go

I oughta quit while I'm ahead

Be careful how you play or you know someday

You might just wake up dead

I don't need another hit, I know when to quit

My big mouth finally said

I don't need another hit, I know when to quit

My big mouth, my big mouth finally said
