Neon buzzing on a Friday night She walked in wearing that Stetson white Bought a stack of chips, picked seventeen Prettiest high roller I’d ever seen She said, “Red or black?” I said, “Don’t ask me— I used all my luck when you picked me” She pushed one chip in, gave that wheel a spin Everybody watched the ball—I watched her grin My best bet wears a cowboy hat Puts it all on red and don’t look back If that wheel hits black and takes our stack We’ll walk out laughing, won’t worry ’bout that ’Cause luck ain’t cash and love ain’t math My best bet wears a cowboy hat That little white ball danced ’round the track Kissed number ten, then settled on black She shrugged one shoulder, bought one more spin Red thirty-two—and the whole room kicked in She stacked those chips with a sideways grin Said, “A cowgirl knows when to cash it in” She hooked my arm and headed for the door I knew I couldn’t love that woman more My best bet wears a cowboy hat Puts it all on red and don’t look back If that wheel hits black and takes our stack We’ll walk out laughing, won’t worry ’bout that ’Cause luck ain’t cash and love ain’t math My best bet wears a cowboy hat Some men chase jackpots all their lives Mine walked in here right by my side No neon light, no payout stack Could beat that smile beneath that hat My best bet wears a cowboy hat Puts it all on red and don’t look back Let that wheel spin, let the whole world crack I already won, and that’s a fact ’Cause luck ain’t cash and love ain’t math My best bet wears a cowboy hat Yeah, I hit the jackpot Long before we walked in
