[Verse 1] I'm standing at the track, it's the only place I know, Where I can read the odds and watch the money flow, I've borrowed what I could and taken what I need, My every dollar burning like a fever, like a seed. My whole world's hanging on a single ticket now, And there's no backing out. [Verse 2] Got a feeling in my bones that today I understand, Number seven in the third, she's got something to prove, for sure. The odds are running long, but I've seen this horse before, And everything inside me says today's the day I soar. [Chorus] Nothing's a sure thing, I can feel it in the air, Sure thing, and I'm gonna let it ride, Could lose it, could win it, could walk away with nothing at all, But a man's gotta answer when that feeling calls. My whole world hangs in the balance now, Sure thing, I'm gonna let it ride. (Sure thing) (let it ride) [Verse 3] The crowd is getting louder, they're loading up the gate, My heart's a snare drum playing out against my fate, Seven's in the stretch now, pulling up beside the lead, And I'm praying like I haven't prayed since I was just a kid in need. The wire's coming closer, just a hundred yards away, This is it, this is the moment, this is either night or day. [Bridge] Sometimes you gotta risk it all to know what you're made of, Sometimes you gotta burn it down to find out what you're made of, And she don't see it yet, but when I call her back, I'm gonna tell her baby, we just hit the jackpot. [Chorus] Nothing's a sure thing, I can feel it in the air, Sure thing, and I'm gonna let it ride, Could lose it, could win it, could walk away with nothing at all, But a man's gotta answer when that feeling calls. My whole world hangs in the balance now, Sure thing, I'm gonna let it ride. (Sure thing) (let it ride) [Outro] Come on, seven, come on... Yes! Yes! She did it! I won. I actually won. Baby pick up the phone You're not gonna believe this day. Sure thing, I'm gonna let it ride. (Sure thing) (let it ride)
