Lyrics
Tess
Tess, you are saved
Yes, the tables have turned around
Tess, don?t be afraid
You can make it outta town
Another card, another game
A fine cigar, you?re entertained
Just keep it cool then call the bluff
And throw in twenty of your hard-earned bucks
Tess, you are saved
Yes, the tables have turned around
Tess, don?t be afraid
You can make it outta town
You hide your stakes along the rail
The topless bar, a dirty jail
You look out longing for the bus
To take you away from all this small town stuff
Tess, you are saved
Yes, the tables have turned around
Tess, don?t be afraid
You can make it outta town
Gonna pick and choose a cinematic fool to love me
Gonna find the magic
Turn the tragic into honey
You find your way to the big city game
It?s down to two
The man and the dame
He stares you down with a possible flush
You throw in twenty thousand hard-earned bucks
Tess, you are saved
Yes, the tables have turned around
Tess, don?t be afraid
You can make it outta town
