I know you couldn't take it
You had to make it with another man
You know that's true, baby
And I can't play that game if you can
It's been a long time since I've been here
Give you what you need
My roots are in Chicago
But nowhere I want to plant my seed
I bet a silver dollar
That you, you loved another
And I bet that silver dollar would make me rich
Girl like you, you're easy pitch
But I miss you when you're gone
ย
Boy, I was broke and bottom
'Til that chick from Chicago came
Man, I was wishing I was in Manchester
And I didn't know her second name
But I'm coming home, girl
Just to show you what this man is living for
Don't be too surprised, honey
When I come busting through that door
I bet a silver dollar
That you, you're in the arms of another
And even though that silver dollar'd make me rich
I tell you, girl, that there's just one hitch
I miss you when you're gone
I just don't seem to get things done
But I had some fun playing this here guitar
ย
I bet a silver dollar
That you loved another
And I bet that silver dollar'd get me in jail
Baby, you wouldn't know no better
I miss you when you're gone
