Lay Them Down Songtext
von Tommy Shaw

Mischief in motion
Seemed innocent enough
Wild-eyed devotion
Now you can′t give it up
Back on your feet again
You call it luck
You'll justify anything
Rather than give it up

It should not have to be so hard
If you don′t see it in the cards

Lay them down
(Lay them down, lay them down)
You don't need them anymore
(Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down)
Hey, hey, hey


The only breath the gambler brings
Is this face won't show his hand
He′s perfected a way
To shut out everything
There′s a fire where the children are
But you refuse to see the flame
They try to warn you, baby
But you won't leave your game

It should not have to be so hard
If you don′t see it in the cards, yeah

Lay them down
(Lay them down, lay them down)
You don't need them anymore
(Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down)
Put ′em down

You can't think of folding your hand
You can′t think of walking away
Not 'til you win one more game
Then you won't need it anymore
Won′t need it anymore

It should not have to be so hard
If you don′t see it in the cards


Lay them down
(Lay them down, lay them down)
Lay them down
(Lay them down, lay them down)
It should not have to be so hard
(Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down)

Lay them down, lay them down, yeah
(Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down)
Oh, lay them down, oh, hey
(Lay them down, lay them down, lay them down)
Oh, come on, lay them down
Yeah
