"The New Green Light" lyrics

The New 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 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
