OPENER    Basic

Circle left
You always won every time you placed a bet
Men star right
Allemande and weave
Every time they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You'd just turn your back and walk

FIGURE    Basic, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru
Dosado, swing thru
Boys run, bend the line
Right & left Thru, flutter wheel, star thru
Swing, promenade
*The only loss you could forsake
*The only bluff you couldn't fake

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I just turned and walked away
*I had nothing left to say

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Sides face grand square
And you're still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Allemande and weave
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by

You always won, every time you placed a bet
You're still damn good, no one's gotten to you yet
Every time they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You'd just turn your back and walk

You always said, the cards would never do you wrong
The trick you said was never play the game too long
A gambler's share, the only risk that you would take
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldn't fake

And you're still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by
You're still the same
You still aim high

There you stood, everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say

'Cause you're still the same
You're still the same
Moving game to game
Some things never change
You're still the same
