Bottle Rockets - Solitaire Lyrics

Joe Flood/Brian Henneman

I put down three of a kind
Pick up a diamond
Try to get my hearts in a row
You go through the motions
Like you're playin'
There's times I just don't know

chorus:
Here we are
Together as ever
Just can't belive that you're all there
Seems all we ever do is play gin rummy
You think you're playing solitaire

You want me to deal
And make it snappy
You don't know I always let you win
I only ever wanted to make you happy
Nowadays you just won't let me in

chorus

I play the game the way I learned it
You don't seem to care for those old rules
You cheat and win
Grin like you earned it
Am I sick or am I just your fool

chorus
