(Keep Your) Back to the Wall Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Keep your back to the wall
Hey, you know a man without friends
Must always be careful
When the trouble begins
And keep your back to the wall
Hey like you always say
This ain′t a game of chance
No, not the way you play
And keep your back to the wall
Yeah, keep travellin' on
′Cause every time you stop and take a look
A little bit more is gone
Fortunes rise and fall
'Till your hand's been played
Now you can win or lose it all
Can raise or you can fade
Raise or you can fade away
And keep your back to the wall
′Cause boy you′re bound to lose
Don't walk in another man′s dream If you can't fill his shoes
Fortunes rise and fall
′Till your hand's been played
Now you can win or lose it all
Can raise or you can fade
Raise or you can fade away
And keep your back to the wall
Yeah just like Wild Bill and the Kid
You know the last thing they ever thought they′d do
Was the last thing they did
And keep your back to the wall
Hey if you can't play it straight
Watch out for the aces
The aces and the eights
Watch out for the aces
The aces and the eights
And keep your back to the wall
Keep your back to the wall
Keep your back to the wall
