Francis and the Lights - Betting On Us

Oh no (x2)

These foreign interests man, they're roamin' my business
They say I've gone too far
The conditions worsen, cloudin' my vision
They say I want it too much
Thought about it for a minute
And I came to the decision
That they're probably right
I'm tired of waitin'
And I want it too much

And so I'm steppin' on up to the plate
And I'm bettin' on us all the way

They're checkin' gauges, man, they're comin' in stages
Said they won't give up
They've been clockin' my numbers
But I'm workin' the summers
‘Cause I want it so much
I was down in the trenches - doin' my time
Now I'm swingin' for the fences - it's all on the line
And I'm nervous and shakin'
And tired, impatient
And I wanna go home

But no, I'm steppin' on up to the plate
And I'm bettin' on us all the way


I'm not bettin' on luck, no
It's just a lie, it's just a lie, just a lie
‘Cause I've been waitin' forever
But I know I can get it if I want it so much
So I'm bettin' on us

That's right, I'm bettin' on us
I'm bettin' on us (x3)
That's right I'm bettin' on us, yeah
All the way, yeah
All the way - ay
All the way (Oh no)
Bettin' on us
Steppin' up, Goddammit, what am I waiting for?
Oh no (Bettin' on us)
Set it up
Shame on me, what am I waiting for?
