A Game In Town Like This |
| Playin' late night crazy pot size games with the Asian dealers who |
| With all that tax free money got deeper pockets than I do |
| I can’t fade that kind of action but my name’s there on the list |
| Who would go to Vegas with a game in town like this? |
| Stuck in chilly morning traffic cuz I always played too long |
| Headed north across the bridge and wish’n you were there at home |
| You used to wake all sleepy headed and ask me if I won |
| Sometimes I’d just say nothing and now I’m living with what I’ve done |
| I’m a losin' lately gambler but that’s not all I’ve ever been |
| Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win |
| The chips were racked and ready and I was standing up to leave |
| Looked down and caught a diamond queen tuggin' at my sleeve |
| My bleary, up-all-nighted eyes misread it for a heart |
| Now the money’s gone, it’s just past dawn and we’re a half world apart |
| I’m a losin' lately gambler but that’s not all I’ve ever been |
| Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win |
| I sat down with 'em one last time as I passed thru months ago |
| Donated a couple thousand, smiled, stood up and hit the road |
| With that old familiar empty feelin' of time and treasure lost |
| The game’s the same, ain’t nothin’s changed except now I know the cost |
| I’m a losin' lately gambler but I’ve booked my share of wins |
| I still see some value there but my edge is pretty thin |
| I’m a losin' lately gambler but that’s not all I’ve ever been |
| Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win |
| I can’t fade that kind of action but my name’s there on the list |
