One for the Money

I've seen you standing there stunned in the spotlight

I've seen the sweat streak 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 pleasin' is hungry and cold

Don't look in her eyes, you'll see what you sold

Too many bodies in too many bars

Too many feelings are fallin' 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 pleasin' is hungry and cold

Don't look in her eyes, you'll see what you sold
