Green Light Lyrics - Hank Thompson

I turn your hole card upside down 

I caught you cheatin' and runnin' around 

There's a smile upon your face while another takes my place 

And now at last dear the truth I'd found 

Babe there's the green light you're free to go 

You'll take a high road I'll take the low 

Here's your coat and shoes and don't forget your blues 

You're on canoe now you'll have to row 

[ fiddle - guitar ] 

Babe there's the green light shift your gear 

I know you fooled me for all these years 

I'll hold my head up high and forget you by and by 

And there'll be laughter instead of tears 

[ steel ] 

Babe there's the green light kick up your heels 

There'll come a day you know how it feels 

To have your aces trump and be taken for a chump 

Now there's the green light so spin your wheels
