lyrics

"Gambling"

it's storming in Nashville tonight
I hope that I can keep myself dry
the roof don't leak
but I'm worried
that it just might spring one soon
and I won't know what to do

but I know that it's sad
I spent all I had
I blew it all gambling
trying my luck
singing in clubs
scrambling
just gambling

the radio rad-cons
they don't like our kind
they say we wake up drunk
and die by the night
and nothing we say
could be worth a damn
we're too high to hold a steady wage
I bet we sold him
his grande latte

oh I know that it's sad
we spent all we had
we blew it all gambling
trying our luck
playing the clubs
scrambling
two hundred thousand miles
our wheels may not survive another trip
maybe it's time quit
just settle down
and start paying the bills
I should really pay the bills

oh I know that's sad
I spent all I had
I blew it all gambling
trying my luck
singing in clubs
just scrambling
but we all want to win
so we try and we try again
yeah we want to win
so we try and we try again
