Trout Fishing In America - Keep Your Back To The Wall lyrics

rate me

Keep your back to the wall,

Hey, you know a man without friends

must always be careful when the trouble begins.

Keep your back to the wall,

Hey, like you always say,

This ain't a game of chance,

No, not the way you play.

And keep your back to the wall,

Yeah, keep trampin' on,

'Cos every time you stop and take a look,

a little bit more is gone.

Fortunes rise and fall,

Till your hand's been played,

Now you can win or lose it all,

You can raise or you can fade,

Raise or you can fade,

Away,

Away...

And keep your back to the wall,

'Cos boy, you're bound to lose,

don't walk in another man's dream

if you can't fill his shoes.

And keep your back to the wall,

Yeah, just like Wild Bill and the Kid,

You know, the last thing they thought they'd ever do

Was the last thing they did.

And keep your back to the wall,

Hey, if you can't play it straight,

Watch out for the aces,

The aces and the eights.

Watch out for the aces,

The aces and the eights.

And keep your back to the wall,

Keep your back to the wall,

Keep your back to the wall...
