Lyrics

I stop seeing double if I close just one eye

Thinking’s bad, feelings are worse and I ain’t got time to cry

I am my own god, I am my own devil

Got a foot in both camps, a drink in my hand it keeps me on the level



It don’t matter how you play the game it’s still the same old chance

It’s cold standing in my shadow, I don’t hear your song and dance.

I write my luck, I’ve dealt my hand

I’m not the type to run and hide

You’re standing on holy ground





I cast a real long shadow, hold a grudge til the end of time

Don’t ask me for forgiveness if you know you crossed my line

You’re acting like you’re Jesus but you don’t look like my son

I’m god around here so sling your hook, don’t walk you’d better run



It don’t matter how you play the game it’s still the same old chance

It’s cold standing in my shadow, I don’t hear your song and dance.

I write my luck, I’ve dealt my hand

I’m not the type to run and hide

You’re standing on holy ground
