I know the place I want to be; I'm walking there alone
But it's hard to say goodbye to everything I've ever known
There are times where I can't help but see that stop sign in the road
And it's all that I can do not giving up and going home

Should I close the door behind me
And never turn my head?
I could walk the road most traveled
And make it easier on myself
Or should I play it safe and bet half of my chips on black instead?
No, I'm going to bet my whole life on red

It takes a bit more courage, courage to go all in
But it makes it so much sweeter when you finally get that win
And I know I'm going somewhere, somewhere I've never been
Though the odds are stacked against me, well now I must begin

Should I close the door behind me
And never turn my head?
I could walk the road most traveled
And make it easier on myself
Or should I play it safe and bet half of my chips on black instead?
No, I'm going to bet my whole life on red

I know I'm not there yet; oh, but I've been there in my mind
I want to turn the leaves and see what I can find
I'm not afraid to walk away and leave it all behind
I won't return; I know I can't rewind

Should I close the door behind me
And never turn my head?
I could walk the road most traveled
And make it easier on myself
Or should I play it safe and bet half of my chips on black instead?
No, I'm going to bet my whole life...

Should I close the door behind me
And never turn my head?
I could walk the road most traveled
And make it easier on myself
Or should I play it safe and bet half of my chips on black instead?
No, I'm going to bet my whole life...

When you come to the crossroads but the only way's ahead
Then I'm going to bet my whole life on red
