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
  
   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 very 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 me 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
  
   Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
   Running down the back of my neck
   To lose means trouble, to win means double
   And I got me a heavy bet
  
   Cold, cold sweat
  
   I put my money in the suitcase
   They say chances on the outside
   I got a whole months wages
  
   Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat
   Stone cold crazy
   Place another bet
