[Intro]
E D A E
[Verse]
I Bmet you on a AmidwaG#my at a Afair last Eyear
And you Bstood out like a AruG#mby A in a black man's Eear
You were Dplaying on the Ahorses, Eyou were playing on the guitar Dstrings
You were Aplaying like a devil wearingE wings
[Chorus]
Wearing Dwings
You looked so grand wearing AwingEs
Do you Dtape them to your shoulders just toE sing?
Can you Dfly?
I heard you can! Can you Afly?E
Like an Deagle doin' your hunting from the Esky
[Bridge]
D A E
[Verse]
I Bfollowed with the sAideshG#mows A to anotherE town
And I Bfound you in a trAailG#mer on the AcampingE grounds
You were Dbetting on someA lover, you were Eshaking up the Ddice
And I Athought I saw you cheating once orE twice
[Chorus]
Once or Dtwice
I heard your bid once or AtwiceE
Were you Dwondering was the gamble worth theE price
Pack it Din
I heard you did! Pack it Ain E
Was it Dhard to fold a hand you knew couldE win
[Bridge]
D A E
[Verse]
So Blately you've been AhidG#ming, A it was somewhere in theE news
And BI'm still at these AraG#mces with Amy ticket stubs and myE blues
And a Dvoice calls out theA numbers, and it Esometimes mentions Dmine
And I Afeel like I've been working oveErtime
[Chorus]
OverDtime
I've lost my fire overAtimEe
Always Dplayin' one more hand for one moreE dime
Slowin' Ddown I'm gettin' tired!
Slowin' AdowEn
And I Denvy you the valley that you'veE found
'Cause I'm Dmidway down the midway
Slowin' Edown, Ddown, Adown,E dowDn A E
