The Odds - At Your WordLyrics

I'll take you at your word And as far as I can throw you Leave you with the baby And I hardly even know you It's gut check time for daddy When it's loaded and unlocked Got to go in to press some skin And leave it gleaming in the dock Would you watch her for me sir? I'll have to take you at your word... I read up on the stallions Marked an X inside the box I just want the strong one Not the one who counts and talks And if you roll the sleeves up on your shirt I'll take you at your word Doc's flicking at the barrel With the needle to the sky Got me counting backwards As it sinks into my thigh You said you'd cut me good And I'll have to take you at your word... I trust in my abilities But I want more than they offer Working then gambling like the cycle of water It's harder to breathe as you're raising the stakes Move, bubble, rise, rain and evaporate Not an atom left to hold me Medicated on the bus I'm sleeping soundly as we're swerving But the driver's not I trust See'mon Big Bopper see'mon Buddy Get in the chopper Hope your boots aren't muddy She's an airworthy bird I'll have to take you at your word... I trust you to be on it Completely bonded and stone cold honest Sure
