"The Loyal Kind" lyrics - JOE BONAMASSA

These maidens in the shadows bring darkness to the light
I know I've fallen, I know I'm just not right
I've dug myself a hole with the shovel that I brought
Did you think I was blind, or you wouldn't get caught?

With the horses in the stable and the dinners on the table
The wrongs don't make rights as it says in the fables
I reached out to you as I reached out to God
You're drunk on the mountain, or you're blinded by the fog

[Pre-Chorus:]
Dark trails of brick and stone
Dark trails in the way you feel alone
I won't be around next time

[Chorus:]
I've played around with those tumbling dice
Are you gonna spin around and betray me twice?
Oh, I knew it all along and I hate when I'm right
I'm asking, are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?

So I took one for the team, we'll call it self esteem
You took the irons out the sky and put the irons on me
All the city lights and silhouettes, did you meet your new boss?
I hope he has your back when your new money's lost

[Pre-Chorus:]
Dark trails of brick and stone
Dark trails in the way you feel alone
I won't be around next time

[Chorus:]
Oh, I've played around with those tumbling dice
Are you gonna spin around and betray me twice?
I knew it all along and I hate when I'm right
I'm asking, are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?

[Guitar solo]

[Pre-Chorus:]
Dark trails of brick and stone
Dark trails in the way you feel alone
I won't be around next time
Oh

[Chorus:]
I've played around with those tumbling dice
Are you gonna spin around and betray me twice?
Oh, I knew it all along and I hate when I'm right
I'm asking, are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?
Are you the loyal kind?
