I put my money in the suitcase And headed for the big race I felt a chill on my backbone As I hung up the telephone Chorus Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Running down the back of my neck To lose means trouble, to win pays double And I got me a heavy bet Cold, cold sweat They say chances on the outside Are looking pretty slim I’ve been so lucky on the inside I feel I’m going to win Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Running down the back of my neck Take a little money., there’s nothing left to lose And I got me a heavy bet Cold, cold sweat I’ve got a whole month’s wages I haven’t seen that much in ages I might spend it in stages And move out to Las Vegas Repeat Cold, cold sweat I put my money in the suitcase They say chances on the outside I got a whole month’s wages Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Stone cold crazy Place another bet
