One For The Money

(Kris Kristofferson)



I've seen you standing there stunned in the spotlight

I've seen the sweat streak of the pain on your face

Cause you're caught like a clown in a circle of strangers

Who do you screw to get out of this place.



It's one for the money and too far to go

Three fingers of whiskey just for the soul

That lady you're pleasing is hungry and cold

Don't look in her eyes you see what you sold.



Too many bodies in too many bars

Too many feelings are falling behind

Cause you're easy to fool when you're lost in the stars

Shoot out that spotlight before you go blind.



It's one for the money and too far to go

Three fingers of whiskey just for the soul

That lady you're pleasing is hungry and cold

Don't look in her eyes you see what you sold.



Take a look in her eyes and you see what you sold...
