Danny O'Keefe - (Keep Your) Back To The Wall lyrics

O'Keefe Keep your back to the wall A man without friends Must always be careful When the trouble begins Keep your back to the wall Like you always say This ain't a game of chance No, not the way you play Keep your back to the wall Keep travellin' on Every time you stop to look A little bit more is gone Fortune rise and fall Till your hand's been played You could win or lose it all You could raise or you could fade away But keep your back to the wall Your bound to lose Don't walk in another man's dream If you can't fill his shoes Keep your back to the wall Like Wild Bill and the Kid The last thing they ever thought they'd do Was the last thing that they did Keep your back to the wall When you can't play it straight Watch out for the aces The aces and the eights
