about

Written and performed by Isaac Tabor.

lyrics

Spain's hot, Scotland cold
Everywhere you go they all want your soul
Nobody's different, everyone the same
Playing their part in this ragtime game

The hot one's will burn you, cold ones chill you to the bone
Each one of them will leave you wanting more
Why do we it, why don't we pull in the reigns
Playing our part in this ragtime game

We've all got stories of the one that got away
When we tried so hard but they just wouldn't stay, no
Instead of sitting here licking my wounds
Well pass me up them dice, Im getting back in the groove

Oh Susanna, she had the looks
Could make an honest man a crook
She'll take you in, make you holler and shout
Just enough crazy to make a man go wild

Lila, she's the special kind
Never leave home without a pitbull by her side
He'll take your head off with one quick move
She knows how she likes it, you better know it too

What are we doing here, what have we got left
Where's your dignity, where's your self-respect
Im telling you straight judge, I ain't got no shame
Playing my part in this ragtime game

We'll keep going until we can't go no more
We live in the bars and we sleep next door
We're always close, one step away
Playing our part in this ragtime game

We're just playing our part in this ragtime game
