Beatin' The Odds - Molly Hatchet

Well she grabbed me and asked me

If I had a name

She told me she was interested to see

If I could play the game

She said her name was victory

She didn’t want to know the rules

That’s just the way I wanted to play

In a game designed for fools

We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds

We were beatin' the odds again

We were gambling with our souls

We were playing to win

We were beatin' the odds again

Well I rolled the dice feelin' cold as ice

And Victory drew the cards

We knew that loosin' when the stakes were high

Could really hit us hard

I strapped into the drivers seat

With Miss Victory by my side

She knew at a glance she was takin' a chance

By coming along for the ride

We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds

We were beatin' the odds again

We were gambling with our souls

We were playing to win

We were beatin' the odds again

Time and space stood still that day

With Victory’s soul and mine

We were running a race between heaven and hell

And we could not find the finish line

And when it was all over we won it in the end

We were splittin' the prize when she opened her eyes

And said Baby let’s try it again

We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds

We were beatin' the odds again

We were gambling with our souls

We were playing to win

We were beatin' the odds again

We were beatin' the odds, we were beatin' the odds

We were beatin' the odds again

We were gambling with our souls

We were playing to win

We were beatin' the odds again
