Part Of Me Thinks You're The One, Part Of Me Don't Think So (I'll Go 60/40)
By: Noah Eaton
10/24/03

Tonight we can be two of a kind
I want to be your man
I got myself a wired pair
And I'm countin' on waking up with a hand
Raisin' up the ante,
aces up, takin' off the gloves
Sweetenin' up the pot,
to make a jackpot of your love.

She's a honky-tonk angel,
she's a 24/7 steel wheel.
Countin' up my blessings,
she knows just how I feel.
Part of me thinks you're the one,
part of me don't think so really
But I've got to place my bet
I'll go 60/40

I've always been a midnight cowboy,
hiding the tears under the brim of my hat.
She's a queen in her faded blue jeans,
she's the soft summer wind rolling at my back.
God I love this woman,
lord I can sure use some magic tonight.
Help me play 'em for keeps,
help me make her mine.

She's a honky-tonk angel,
she's a 24/7 steel wheel.
Countin' up my blessings,
she knows just how I feel.
Part of me thinks you're the one,
part of me don't think so really
But I've got to place my bet
I'll go 60/40

I have to be careful,
but I can't be too cautious.
Soon love, you'll know you can't resist,
all this country lovin' I have to give.

She's a honky-tonk angel,
she's a 24/7 steel wheel.
Countin' up my blessings,
she knows just how I feel.
Part of me thinks you're the one,
part of me don't think so really
But I've got to place my bet
I'll go 60/40

Oh, what the heck,
I'm feelin' lucky tonight,
I'm bettin' it all!


I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

***Live***

Now, Noah...THIS  is a COUNTRY  SONG!!!
I'd like to hear the music to it. Have you ever gotten
any of your songs copyrighted? I'll bet that you
could get some of them recorded by one of
the New Country stars...that is if you didn't
want to record them all your self.
Hugs

Smilin at this, what a cool country tune.
Yep, bet the whole hand, what have you got to lose?
(There's always a spare hidden deck anyway. LOL)

I concur with Ethel and Kacy.  This should be a very cool country/western song with a cool story and metaphors.  Enjoyed.
