I got good at guessing, reading tells and taking tricks
My hand shows eleven and dealer’s showing six
Well, you never know for sure but I’ve been around
And I’ve got a reckless feeling that I might
Be kinda right
So I double down
And you can hit me though you have already won
The card you’re going to deal me puts me over twenty-one
When I cut my losses, cut the cards again
And then save my seat cause I can’t afford
To not be right back for more And I double down
In case you haven’t noticed that I compartmentalize
My beliefs and evidence I fail to recognize
Well, I never would retract my claims I found
That you all will be amazed
How much I am set in my ways
And I double down
