LYRICS

VERSE 1:

i’m a bettin
you’ll be waiting by the wilder side of heaven
but it’s sad inside my soul
and where you’re headin
no one’s dared to go
no one else should know about it…

VERSE 2:

where you headin?
they said they done it all
but i’m betting…
that that good old crystal ball will fill the hole inside your head
read your paper, wear your favorite rag to bed

VERSE 3:

at my wedding
some refuse to show
but i’m betting
that certain types would really like to know…
