Lyrics

i bet you a shot for a glass of wine
i bet you a light for a smoke
i bet you city for the wild, wild west
i bet you a laugh for a bad, bad joke

i bet you a brother for an uncle same
i bet you a car for a train ride home
i bet you some sugar for a cup of joe
i bet you a dog for a bone

it ain't easy bein' me when you're tryin' to make it in this town
it ain't easy bein' me when the, the only way up is down, down, down

i bet you a cigar for suit
i bet you lifetime for a job
i bet you a song for poet
i bet you a door for that knob

i bet you a fish for a sea
i bet you a pen for a note
i bet you nothin' for enough
i bet you every line you ever wrote

it ain't easy bein' me when you're tryin' to make it in this town
it ain't easy bein' me when the, the only way up is down, down, down

oh oh oh oh
hoo ooh

i bet you a stomach for your gut
i bet you some heart for a soul
i bet you everything you ever wanted
for everything you'll never ever know

i bet you my music for your ears
i bet a bed for some sleep
i bet everything that is or ever was
for everything you'll never ever be

it ain't easy bein' me when you're tryin' to make it in this town
it ain't easy bein' me when the, the only way up is down, down, down
