Текст Gregg Allman —Double Cross

Four Nights out of five
The sunrise catches you
Sneaking in through the back door
Sloppy drunk, looking half alive
Rolling on pains and excuses
Dressed in wrinkles and bruises

Giving with one hand
Then slipping in another
Woman, I think that you’d
Double cross your own mother

Four nights out of five
I keep on catching you
Don’t it put you on a wonder?
Don’t it make you kind of feel like a fool?
Woman it’s covered in the Golden Rule

Well you’re always playing one hand
Against the other
Woman, I think you’d double cross
Your own sweet grandmother

I gave you a chance to see
How easy life could be
I found you in the backwoods
Living on wine and cheap clothes
What can anyone say, but I made you
Queen for a day — like today

I had to take a natural fool
And gave up everything I had
Don’t you know when the water goes
Your possessions also melt away
This time we’re gonna take it your way
Go on out the back way
Don’t come around again

Four nights out of five
Lord, I don’t mind telling you
You’re driving me to drink too hard
Tell me baby, what you trying to do?
Mama, you done left me and the Golden Rule

Oh, you’re living with one hand
Slipping in the other
Woman, I’ll bet you’d even double cross
Your own grandmother

Well you’re always playing one
Hand against the other
Woman, I think you’d double cross
Your own sweet grandmother
