Crooked Game

[Dante]

Crooked Game

Endless stretch of highway/
unfolds before my eyes/
thinkin' 'bout my recent past/
what the future may comprise.
It's been so many days now/
since we left our happy home/
and I can't wait to see you, girl/
and spend time alone...
time alone.

Thinkin' 'bout my recent past/
and how many things have changed/
If I didn't know any better, girl/
I'd think they were arranged/
I've thought a while longer now/
and I think I have a clue/
and it seems that all of my good fortune/
seems to trace right back to you...
back to you.

Refrain:
And I think I'd like to know all about you/
and talk about the things we'll do the same/
because it seems to me we'll soon come to realize/
that we're just players in this crooked game.

Thinking about the days we've spent/
lazin' in the sun/
The only thing that I can hope/
is that I'm not the only one/
We've both gone through our changes/
to get where we are now/
And I'd come running back to you/
if only I knew how...
I knew how.

Up and down those highways/
lookin' at all the signs/
it's getting so much harder now/
to stay between the lines/
We talk about the weather/
to ignore our lonesome pain/
in a world that's more concerned/
with the losses and the gains...
and the gains.

Refrain:
And I think I'd like to know all about you/
and talk about the things we'll do the same/
because it seems to me we'll soon come to realize/
that we're just players in this crooked game.
