Too Much To Lose Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

Pardon me if I'm leaving in a hurry, can't you see 

There's too much to lose for me to stay around? 

I've played your game, obeyed your rules, the best that I know how 

Gonna get out while the game don't get me down 

It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone 

I won't see you again before the dawn 

There's too much to lose for me to stay around 

So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town 

Pardon me if I don't turn back or even say goodbye 

I surely have enjoyed your cup of tea 

Got no more time to gamble on a thing that ain't too sure 

And the dust cloud on the edge of town is me 

If you ever feel that you should want to get in touch somehow 

Forget it, that's all in yesterday 

Forgiving is to lovers as trusting is to fools 

And of losing there is nothing I can say 

It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone 

I won't see you again before the dawn 

There's too much to lose for me to stay around 

So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town 

It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone 

I won't see you again before the dawn 

There's too much to lose for me to stay around 

So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
