Lyrics Need To Lose - The Devil Makes Three

Need To Lose

Starin' at my cards like they owe me somethin'
Workin' on a ragged hand
I can see the reaper sittin' at the table
And I know that he’s got a plan
Must’ve wanted my heart to break
Turnin' a mirage into a lake
I’m comin' over the mountain and I’m pumping the brakes
Workin' on a full card straight
Everybody’s always askin'
Why do what I do
I don’t gamble 'cause I want to win, boys
I gamble 'cause I need to lose
Got some miles on the engine
No way to roll back the clock
I wouldn’t do it even if I could
I gotta play 'til the music stops
Learned too late, sing the blues
Let the dirt get on these shoes
You want to find the queen, you got some pawns to lose
Darlin' I’d tell you the truth
Everybody’s always askin'
Why do what I do
I don’t gamble 'cause I want to win, boys
I gamble 'cause I need to lose
I need to lose
I need to lose
I need to lose
I need to lose
I gamble 'cause I need to lose
Somebody call the doctor
Something wrong with me
I know there’s something missin'
What it is I just can’t see
It’s down in my chest, dark aches and pains
I know I got a screw loose inside of my brain
And everybody’s always askin'
Why do what I do
I don’t gamble 'cause I want to win, boys
I gamble 'cause I need to lose
Everybody’s always askin'
Why do what I do
I don’t gamble 'cause I want to win, boys
I gamble 'cause I need to lose
I need to lose
I need to lose
I need to lose
I need to lose
I gamble 'cause I need to lose
