Bet Your Bottom Dollar
Bonfire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step one, step two
It's all up to you
Step three, step four
How could you ask for more?

Anything, anytime, anywhere
That's the bottom line
And a good beer early morning buzz
Says "no" to rise and shine

Double trouble time, leave it all behind
I'll turn another page
Bet your bottom dollar
I lay it on the line, gotta free my mind
No more living by the rules

(Chorus:)
You can bet your bottom dollar
One fine day I will be gone
Ride into a new horizon
Lookin' back, forever young

Step five, step six
Doing things for kicks
Step seven, step eight
Don't wait 'till it's too late

Anything, anytime, anywhere
Fast food for my soul
Freefall into freeman's land
Just let the good times roll

Look me in the eye, do you think I'd lie?
I'm so sick and tired
Bet your bottom dollar
It'll be alright saddle up my ride
Turn the key just crash and burn





(Chorus)
