lyrics

Third times a charm at the Three Speed
I twist your rubber arm to take me home with you
And oh these rows of dominoes that line the bar then stumble home
Are nothing but trouble and I want some

My eyes begin to dance when I’ve had a few
It doesn’t take too much this will be good for you
And hey I made it plain as day
My baby said that it’s ok
Do you smell trouble
Do you want some

Let me be your best bet
For a little bit
For a little while
I can take the hit
When it really hits
I will go out in style
Let me be your best bet
For a little while

Romance is alive and wandering through Parkdale
You stand there like a bullseye for my fantasies
And oh I know the best before
Can waft the hurt a mile away
But it’s still love if you look at it sideways

Let me be your best bet
For a little bit
For a little while
I can take the hit
When it really hits
I will go out in style
Let me be your best bet
For a little while

Love was not made just for you and I
And I’d say it’s less cupid and more samurai
And I have seen the break of day from both sides now
And either way
It’s only a goddamn beautiful sunrise

Let me be your best bet
For a little bit
For a little while
I can take the hit
When it really hits
I will go out in style
Let me be your best bet
For a little while

about

Whitehorse Toronto, Ontario

Ethereal folk, Space Cowboy twang. Psychedelic spaghetti western. Intergalactic blues grooves. Pop noir. Since their debut in 2011, Whitehorse has evolved from magnetic folk duo to full-blown rock band. In truth, Whitehorse is never fully either one or the other, but an ever-evolving creative partnership that challenges both artists to explore new instrumental & lyrical terrain with each project. ... more

Are You Gone
by Sarah Harmer

Master of melodies, casually deft at strumming that guitar, thoughtful, poetic; this album has everything you ever came to love about Sarah Harmer. A Beautiful Voice with a beautiful voice and I'm so glad to hear it singing again! A

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes

supported by 7 fans who also own “Best Bet”

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
