Yesterday I took a chance
And wore my dancin' shoes
Everybody said, "Man it's not like him"
This morning I woke up at five
And dusted off my boots
Tomorrow I will go out on a limb
I climbed in the ring tonight
With runnin' for my game
I didn't have a promise or a plan
I climbed in the ring tonight
With nothin' to my name
Then I threw a punch I never thought'd land
The devil in your dreams tonight
Or a rat snake in your bed?
A ten-gauge between your shoulder blades
Or is you already dead?
Yesterday I took a chance
And wore my dancin' shoes
Tomorrow I will go out on a limb
