Description
I posted the original version of this song 2-3 weeks ago, leaving a spot open at the end for someone to lay down a solo. I was hoping any Lap Steel or Rhodes players out there would give it a go. Shortly after, peacepiano posted this awesome version and nailed it.

As if that alone wasn't enough, Alfred Solti (alfalpha) sent me another amazing Rhodes solo that blew me away. Just as I was getting ready to post it, Jim Bouchard sent me a beautiful lap steel track to add to the mix. I didn't consider putting the two together at first because I thought it would clash, but when I tried it... magic. You'd think the steel and ivory would collide but not in this case. It's as if they were in the same room jamming it out and playing off each other's lines (you'll hear what I mean).
THEN, Alfred mentioned he was thinking of trying a brass part over the outro. I said go for it and he laid down a line that really works perfectly.
This song really came together nicely with everyone's additions and I want to thank Bill, Alfred and Jim for pitching in. You all really helped me complete this and it meets and goes way beyond what I was initially hoping for, so THANKS!

Lyrics
you tell me you wont say goodnight
you tell me it's too hard this time
but I'll come back to you again
I'll come back if you'll let me in
We have played this game before
We both have walked in and out that door
But this time it feels different
Yeah this time I think you mean it
And I don't like these odds
you're giving me to gamble with
And I won't play these games you're playing
because I'll never win
I spent all my time on making you happy
Before I realized we're not meant to be
The glowing stars shoot out from your eyes
Nobody can say we never tried
And I don't like these odds
you're giving me to gamble with
And I won't play these games you're playing
because I'll never win
you tell me it's too hard this time
but I'll come back to you again
I'll come back if you'll let me in
We have played this game before
We both have walked in and out that door
But this time it feels different
Yeah this time I think you mean it
And I don't like these odds
you're giving me to gamble with
And I won't play these games you're playing
because I'll never win
I spent all my time on making you happy
Before I realized we're not meant to be
The glowing stars shoot out from your eyes
Nobody can say we never tried
And I don't like these odds
you're giving me to gamble with
And I won't play these games you're playing
because I'll never win
