A high roller, even when the chips are down
To win her over. I've seen the tables turn around
She's ten the hard way. I can feel it in my bones
She'll be making my day and not another night alone
Well it's time for a windfall and not a single minute too soon
I've been doing all I can do, now I'm gonna shoot the moon
(Chorus)
I've bet it all on a good run of back luck
Seven come eleven and she could be mine
Luck be a lady and I'm gonna find love
Coming on the bottom line
I've been to the table and I've lost it all before
I'm willing and able, always coming back for more
Sqeezing out a thin dime, 'til there's no one hanging on my arm
I've gambled on a third time. A fool'll tell you it's a charm
If I'm betting on a loser, I'm gonna have the devil to pay
But it's the only game I know to play. It doesn't matter anyway
(Repeat chorus twice)
