Bettin' That It Won't Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Gas is going up, my wallet′s getting thin
I'm in debt right up to my chin
The politician tells me I′m going to catch a break
Vote for him and that's all it's going to take
And I′m bettin′ that it won't. I′m bettin' that it won′t
Give you 2 to 1 on a $20 bill
I'm bettin′ that it won't but I'm hopin′ that it will
Sittin′ on a bar stool, it's gettin′ kind of late
Tryin' to get the nerve up to ask her for a date
She might say yes, she might want to dance
She might even think about giving me a chance
And I′m bettin' that she won′t. I'm bettin' that she won′t
I′m gettin' so nervous that I can′t stand still
I'm bettin′ that she won't but I′m hopin' that she will
I don't see myself as a negative guy
Still got a lot of things that I want to try
Up a creek without a paddle in a leaky old boat
You might think I′m sinkin′ but I'm bettin′ that I won't


Bettin′ that I won't
I don′t see myself as a negative guy
Still got a lot of things that I want to try
Up a creek without a paddle in a leaky old boat
You might think I'm sinkin' but I′m bettin′ that I won't
Bettin′ that I won't
Every week I buy a ticket, I put my money down
Lookin′ for a number that'll turn it all around
You′re never gonna win, if you never play
Well maybe that jackpot is comin' my way
And I'm bettin′ that it won′t. I'm bettin′ that it won't
Gonna live it up, might even pay my bills
I′m bettin' that it won′t but I'm hopin' that it will
Bettin′ that it won′t. I'm bettin′ that it won't
Might even get a little help on my doctor bill
I′m bettin' that I won′t but I'm hopin' that I will
Bettin′ that I won′t but I'm hopin′ that I will
Bettin' that I won′t but I'm hopin′ that I will
