They're taking bets at
the side of the drums
Everybody walks in when
the moment comes
Over on the side,
that's a man of duty,
won't turn you white
A few of these boys are lookin'
at me real strange
Everybody else driftin' out of my range
At the end of the night,
I hope I'm still the same
I think I'm gonna slide out of sight
I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
I thought I had it wired,
now I'm gettin' a little tired
And I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
It might have been that 500 -mile drive
And I ran a car to try to die
Or all the sins that I did inside
That I swear I'd never do again
Might be a case of the motel blues
Might be the case of that cheap bottle
But in any case,
I ain't got nothin' to lose
And you know I can't feel any pain
I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
I thought I had it wide,
but I'm gettin' a little fried
And I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
And you're getting dizzy again
Oh yeah, this time I really don't
get that damn
By the end of this song
I might probably be gone
You might find me passed out
on your front lawn
Raise your glass to me at
the break of dawn
I'll see you when I crawl back again
And I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
I thought I had it wired
and I get a little tired
And I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
Oh, yeah, I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
Oh, yeah, I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
Said, I think I'm gonna lose it tonight
But, Mama, I don't mind
