about

"Best Bet"
A creative collaboration

lyrics

Danny Dakota ft. Check Engine Light
"Best Bet"

They're in your head
The words unsaid
They leave you begging for a punchline
Do you recall that damn 8 ball?
How it was begging for a pocket

So I don't go
To places that I don't know
It's not because I'd get lost
It's just because I'd call them home
I said

Are you so blind you lost your mind?
And you could never find it
I've got bad luck
The black cat stuff
But take it as your best bet

It's in your bed
The horse's head
It leaves you begging for a motive
It's closing time
But still, there's a line
You're thinking "When's the time to say it?"

But you can't stop
Your head is on the chopping block
It's not that we don't want you here
But we don't mind if you disappear

Are you so blind you lost your mind?
And you could never find it
I've got bad luck
The black cat stuff
But I would never trade it
Let her go
And tell her that I told you so
I'm singing
It's for the best
This ain't a threat
But take it as your best bet

We're almost done
I'm making out what you thought
It better be good
If not, I'll them that you ain't so hot
Take me as your best bet
