The Odds Lyrics

  
  

Written By Thomas K White (BMI)
Dedicated to all the Vietnam War veterans

[1] They all wonder� how he got that poker stare�.
They don�t know�. what he done over there�
Cause he don�t talk about it�. some things you just don�t�.
Still wonders to this day�.how the hell he made it home�

CHORUS
He still can�t tell you�no he just don�t know�
The odds of getting shot down twice�.. to the jungle below�.
And comin� back home�


[2] Never looks worried as they flip his cards�
He�s been dealt a good hand�. before he starts�
Mission after mission�bullets riddled that Huey
Nobody got to tell him nothing�. about being lucky

CHORUS
He still can�t tell you�no he just don�t know�
The odds of getting shot down twice�.. to the jungle below�.
And comin� back home�

[Instrumental to the modulation][Modulation]

[3] As the night rolls� on he loses and he wins�
But he learned one thing�. from surviving tail spins�
No choice but to ride it out�the best way you can�.
And hope someway somehow you get dealt a good hand�

CHORUS
He still can�t tell you�no he just don�t know�
The odds of getting shot down twice�.. to the jungle below�.
And comin� back home�

TAG: Comin back home�.
Coming back home�
