I was a cowboy from out of state Thought I was a player but I got played Dust off my shoes wipe the sweat from my face If everyone is playing, you gotta play the game Am I a reflection? I know you're mine Oh, to know my shape in another's eye I remain collected, I know you're right I'll be a reminder another time But you are all I got now, I don't care if you're kind The radio is playing and it's supper time Nobody ever taught me put my chips on God's grace My buddy is a cheater but I'm shooting straight He's fading into water I can't make him stay In the end a player is bound to get played In the end a player is bound to get played I was a cowboy from out of state Thought I was a player but I got played Dust off my shoes wipe the sweat from my face If everyone is playing you gotta play the game If everyone is playing you gotta play the game
