"Green Light" lyrics

Green Light

I turn your hole card
Upside down
I caught you cheating
And running around

There's a smile upon your face
While another takes my place
And now at last, dear
The truth I'd found

Babe, there's the green light
You're free to go
You'll take a high road
I'll take the low

Here's your coat and shoes
And don't forget your blues
You're on canoe now
You'll have to row

Babe, there's the green light
Shift your gears
I know you fooled me
For all these years

I'll hold my head up high
And I'll forget you by and by
And there'll be laughter
Instead of tears

Babe, there's the green light
Kick up your heels
There'll come a day you
Know how it feels

To have your aces trump
And be taken for a chump
Now there's the green light
So spin your wheels
