Gambler Lyrics

Hard times in the summer time
All I wanna do is make a dime
Pay my bill and wash my car
Take my lady for some caviar

High life New York City
Come on big money
Show me who you are
I'm placing my bets
with all my cash
Come on big wheel
Let me get some back

I'm waiting at the table with my bet in my hand
I ain't got a job so I do what I can
Try to make so money got nothing to loose
Gotta bad case of the gamblers blues
Sufferin and lovin it pains no punishment
Smiling at the dice, the devil and the government
Chasing my bills from Uncle Sam
No big dilly deal you're the man

Hot flash now you know it's bad
Physical control by the money man
My palms are sweaty and my heart beats fast
All I wanna do is make it last

Heat wave lady luck is back
The tables getting hotter
let me feel your rack
One on the two and three on the four
I hit for a thousand and I wanna make more

The smell of the money the taste of a chance
I gotta get paid I gotta make rent
I gamble for the love and not for the flash
I know what to do but I don't forget
Money don't make the world go round
I only makes it easy to take you out from the bottom of the
Barrel where you started from
To the king of the mountain
When you think your done

Head case you can beat this race
Nothing comes easy don't lose your pace
Stay all night you've come this far
Show the big city that you are a star
Hopeless there is no way to choose
Nothing could be worse than the gambler's blues
Spending my day at an OTB
Second hand smoke is like vitamin C
