The Odds - Jake Bugg
A man of great ambition he posed himself to be
A man upon a mission with pretentions to achieve
All his friends admire him,
In every word they trust him, I believe.
And the odds seem forever in his favor.
He made a sound investment in his own abilities
Held the clientele and some committed employees
Word got in the town, money to be made,
and cash be found.
And the odds seem forever in his favor.
Sooner or later the man is bound to fall!
Won’t find liser
Sooner or later empires are bound to fall!
The wind blows forever without favor
But the odds were not endeavored
Forever in your favor!
He bought a ground, a house on a more expensive street
Right across the a place to rest his feet
Felt the arise before he knew it wasn’t all back
Still he thought he had the odds in his favor.
We hate to disappoint you, the back at the end of you
The string of repossessions, his wife’s expensive heels
The season prouder cause he felt a certain feeling,
I believe
And he knew the odds will fall far in his favor.
Sooner or later the man is bound to fall!
Won’t find liser
Sooner or later it’s the end after all!
Just the wind don’t blow forever without favor
But the odds were not endeavored
Forever in your favor!
You’re expensive pockets are empty,
and you’re feeling insecure
Thing you may resent it, and in fact, I’m pretty sure
Cause being wealthy is really all that far from being poor
I’m not so sure!
But the odds are not forever in your favor!
