Too Much to Lose Songtext

von Gordon Lightfoot

Pardon me if I'm leaving in a hurry, can't you see?
There's too much to loose for me to stay around.
I've plaid your game obeyed your rules the best that I know how.
Gonna get out while the game don't get me down.

It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone. I won't see you again before dawn.
There's too much to loose for me to stay around so I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town.

Pardon me if I don't turn back or even say goodbye, I surely have enjoyed your cup of tea.
Got no more time to gamble on a thing that ain't too sure
And the dust-cloud on the edge on town is me.

If you ever feel that you should want to get in touch somehow, forget it, that's all in yesterday.
Forgiving is to lovers as trusting is to fools and of losing, there is nothing I can say.

It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone. I won't see you again before dawn.
There's too much to loose for me to stay around so I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town.

It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone. I won't see you again before dawn.
There's too much to loose for me to stay around so I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town.
Well, I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town.
