lyrics

Soft 17

Our love is a soft seventeen
We’re in no shape to take no hits
There are no odds in our favor
There’s no tomorrow there’s only this

You better believe it’s a gamble
Just bet the ranch and roll the dice
We may be shootin’ lucky sevens
May be rollin’ snake eyes

Oh please don’t say that it’s all over
We haven’t even placed our bet yet
With your rabbit’s foot and my four leaf clover
Just how bad could it possibly get

So what if we stayed put
When we should have doubled down
Oh I’ll get us a table
In the Losers Lounge

You better believe it’s a gamble
Old lady luck may let us down
And I’ll meet you for a drink
In the Losers Lounge

Our love is a soft seventeen
We’re in no shape to take no hits
There are no odds in our favor
There’s no tomorrow there’s only this

You better believe it’s a gamble
Just bet the ranch and roll the dice
We may be shootin’ lucky sevens
We may be rollin’ snake eyes

Please don’t say it’s all over
We haven’t even placed our bet
