Gregg Allman Double Cross Lyrics

Four Nights out of five
the sunrise catches you
sneaking in through the back door
sloppy drunk, looking half alive
Loaded on gin and excuses
dressed in wrinkles and bruises

Living with one man,
then slipping in another
woman I bet you'd even
double cross your own Mother

Four nights out of five
I keep on catching you
don't it put you on a wonder?
don't it kind of make you feel like a fool?
woman did you ever hear of the Golden Rule? Hey baby?

Well you're always playing one end against the other
woman I bet you'd even double cross
your own sweet Grandmother

I gave you a chance to see
how easy life could be
I found you in the backwoods
living so proud and cheap clothes
One could even say, that I made you a Queen for a day - like today

I had to take a natural fool
and gave up everything I had
don't you know when the wealth goes
your possessions also melt away
This time we're gonna take it your way
go on out the back way
don't come around again

Four nights out of five
Lord I don't mind telling you
you're driving me to drink too hard
tell me baby, what you trying to do?
Mama you done left me and the Golden Rule

Oh you're living with one hand
slipping in the other
Woman I'll bet you'd even double cross
your own Grandmother

Well you're always playing one
hand against the other
Woman I think you'd double cross
your own sweet Grandmother
