He works a double overtime
She watches day turn to night
I guess they're gettin' by
Put it all on the line
She says my hands don't look like mine
Cut up and bleeding, trying to survive
And she feels it all the time
Put it all on the line
And if it's late, don't wait for me
You know we're runnin out of time
And all I have's to grind and scrape for you
I guess we're gettin by
Put it all on the line
They don't have money they don't spend
The first is comin' round the bend
And time keeps flyin' by
Put it all on the line
He bet on black, never red
Pick out her lucky number instead
And watch the wheel spinnin' by
Put it all on the line
And if it's late, don't wait for me
You know we're runnin' out of time
And all I have's to grind and scrape for you
I guess we're gettin by
Put it all on the line
He works a double overtime
She watches day turn to night
I guess they're gettin by
Put it all on the line
