Goodnight, Texas - Takin' Your Word For It (Live) Lyrics

Lyrics Takin' Your Word For It (Live) - Goodnight , Texas



To a certain extent I'll be taking your word for it
'Cause it's all I can do
You'll be putting your faith in me and I
I'll be placin' a bet on you
If it's a sure thing that you want
Write a letter to your confidant
Listen to me, child, if you please
There ain't no guarantees
Oh, well I gathered up my nickels and dimes
And I stepped onto the bus
And all the passengers were lookin' at the driver
And he was a-smilin' at us
Well, we shimmied from side to side
Said my prayers, enjoyed the ride
'Cause there was nothing I could do or say
To make that driver drive a particular way
To a certain extent I'll be taking your word for it
'Cause it's all I can do
You'll be putting your faith in me and I
I'll be placin' a bet on you
If it's a sure thing that you need
Cut your finger and watch it bleed but
Listen to me, child, if you please
There ain't no guarantees
I gathered up a couple of dollars
And I headed for the bar downtown
I stopped to pick young Annalee up
And get us a bottle of brown
Yes, but Crazy Chester and his four piece band
Had her dancin' with another man
And there was nothing I could say or do
To make sure that she didn't go home with you
To a certain extent I'll be taking your word for it
'Cause it's all I can do
You'll be putting your faith in me and I
I'll be placin' a bet on you
If it's a sure thing you think you found
Everything comes back around
Listen to me, child, if you please
Oh, there ain't no guarantees
Listen to me, child, if you please
Oh, there ain't no guarantees
To a certain extent I'll be (taking your word for it)
To a certain extent I'll be (taking your word for it)
To a certain extent I'll be (taking your word for it)
Ok, alright
To a certain extent I'll be (taking your word ford for it)
Just one more, let's do this
To a certain extent I'll be (taking your word for it)
Well, to a certain extent I'll be (taking your word for it)
To a certain extent I'll be (taking your word for it)
One more
To a certain extent I'll be (taking your word for it)
