I turn your hole card upside down I caught you cheatin' and runnin' around
There's a smile upon your face for another takes my place
And now at last dear the truth I'd found
Babe there's a green light you're free to go you'll take a high road I'll take the low
Now here's your coat and shoes and don't forget your blues
You're on canoe now you'll have to row
[ guitar ]
Babe there's a green light so shift your gear I know you fooled me for all these years
I'll hold my head up high and forget you by and by
And there'll be laughter instead of tears
Babe there's a green light kick up your heels
There'll come a day you know how it feels
To have your aces trump and be taken for a chump
Now there's a green light so spin your wheels
[ steel ]
Babe there's a green light...
