The Odds

The Odds - Jake Bugg

A man of great ambition he posed himself to be

A man upon a mission with pretentions to achieve

All his friends admire him

In every word they trust him I believe

And the odds seem forever in his favor

He made a sound investment in his own abilities

Held the clientele and some committed employees

Word got in the town money to be made

And cash be found

And the odds seem forever in his favor

Sooner or later the man is bound to fall

Won't find liser

Sooner or later empires are bound to fall

The wind blows forever without favor

But the odds were not endeavored

Forever in your favor

He bought a ground a house on a more expensive street

Right across the a place to rest his feet

Felt the arise before he knew it wasn't all back

Still he thought he had the odds in his favor

We hate to disappoint you the back at the end of you

The string of repossessions his wife's expensive heels

The season prouder cause he felt a certain feeling

I believe

And he knew the odds will fall far in his favor

Sooner or later the man is bound to fall

Won't find liser

Sooner or later it's the end after all

Just the wind don't blow forever without favor

But the odds were not endeavored

Forever in your favor

You're expensive pockets are empty

And you're feeling insecure

Thing you may resent it and in fact I'm pretty sure

Cause being wealthy is really all that far from being poor

I'm not so sure

But the odds are not forever in your favor
