Double Down

Double Down

I’m a confident man, well-respected and well-read. 
I don’t regret a single thing or word I ever did or said. 
Might well be the most stubborn man you ever met. 
Hey, look over here, what you see is what you get. 

There’s something you should know about me; 
I wear my heart on my sleeve. 
And no matter what you think or believe, 
I’ll be true to you eight days a week. 

I know what I want, no need to change my mind. 
Full steam ahead, don’t care to look behind. 
There ain’t no second guessing or buying more time. 
Nothing more to do 
But double down with you. 

There were so many choices, but I picked you. 
A few rough patches but somehow we managed to get through. 
One thing’s for sure, day by day our feelings grew. 
We were head over heels for each other and stuck like glue. 

Not every day would bring a rainbow. 
But we could rise above what’s in our way. 
While you listened to what your dark thoughts told you, 
I never ever doubted we would be okay. 

I know what I want, no need to change my mind. 
Full steam ahead, don’t care to look behind. 
There ain’t no second guessing or buying more time. 
Nothing more to do 

Double down with you 
And loving you more each day. 
No matter what, I wouldn’t have it any other way. 

I know what I want, no need to change my mind. 
Full steam ahead, don’t care to look behind. 
There ain’t no second guessing or buying more time. 
Nothing more to do 
But double down with you - double down with you.

Songwriter's Notes: This country dance song is filled with heavy electric guitars and a fiddle. Lyrics are about a stubborn man who knows what he wants, and sticks to his guns and his woman.
