lirik lagu corb lund - 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 p-ssed 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
who would go to vegas with a game in town like this?
