Too Much To Lose – Gordon Lightfoot

Pardon me if I’m leaving in a hurry, can’t you see
There’s too much to loose for me to stay around
I’ve plaid your game obeyed your rules, the best that I know how
Gonna get out while the game don’t get me down

It’s been a long long day and now it’s gone gone
I won’t see you again before dawn
There’s too much to loose for me to stay around
So I’ll just cash in the chips and leave this town

Pardon me if I don’t turn back or even say goodbye
I surely have enjoyed your cup of tea
Got no more time to gamble on a thing that ain’t too sure
And the dust-cloud on the edge on town is me

If you ever feel that you should want to get in touch somehow
Forget it – that’s all in yesterday
Forgiving is to lovers as trusting is to fools
And of losing there is nothing I can say

It’s been a long long day and now it’s gone gone
I won’t see you again before dawn
There’s too much to loose for me to stay around
So I’ll just cash in the chips and leave this town
