Perfect for winter acoustic playlists and belated new year's resolutions, "Put Up a Bet" is the eighth single from Northern Colorado's Sean Waters and the Sunrise Genius. How life is like a game of poker? "Please don't take bad breaks the wrong way / put your hands up to what the cards say."
.....

"Put Up a Bet" provides a picture of a singer-songwriter coming into his own... some Rocky Mountain Inspired indie folk rock that sits next to other Colorado Indie Folk greats : Gregory Alan Isakov, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, the Lumineers, and Lewis Turner.Sean Waters writing and sound has drawn comparisons to early Coldplay and Iron and Wine.

LYRICS

Spend most of my time

Digging in a mine

Silver linings in my head

Settled most of my debts

Till I rest again

Still drawing fives



Please don't take bad breaks the wrong way

Throw your hands up to what the cards say



Spend most of my days

Smokey head

Somewhere under the gun

When you once again said

Going round these days

Bust of cash coming along

Please don't take this all wrong way

Keep your hands up to what the cards say

And I won't take it hard or lightly

If we're in a big blind now nearly nightly

You put up a bet and you rise

While the river hides

You put up a bet and you rise

You put up a bet and you rise

While the river hides

You put up a bet and you rise

Please don't take this all wrong way

If I say you raised me rightly

Put Up A Bet

Silhouettes and State Lines

Stay (Betty Blue)

Holiday

Glue

I Feel Your Soul
