Roll the Dice

A two dollar bet on a long shot

Parlayed to sixteen grand

That should have put me in a good spot

But fate dealt me another hand

It seems that me and money

Are really never meant to be

I met up with this race track honey

And she left me just about cash free

Sometimes good luck is with you

Sometimes your luck runs out

Sometimes you think you will break the bank

And then life turns you inside out

But you should never stop playing

You never know when you will score

Baby all that I’m saying

Is that you need to roll the dice once more

Made my way out to Vegas

I had plans to hit it big

In no time I lost a year’s wages

My wife is going to flip her lid

No idea how to tell her

She’ll kill me when I get back home

I don’t know how I’ll get there

I hocked the car, my watch and phone

Sometimes good luck is with you

Sometimes your luck runs out

Sometimes you think you will break the bank

And then life turns you inside out

But you should never stop playing

You never know when you will score

Baby all that I’m saying

Is that you need to roll the dice once more

By now you know that I’m a loser

It seems that I can never win

An out of control gambler and boozer

Given chances again and again

The hardest loss for me to take

Was when you walked out of my world

I’m on my knees for goodness sake

Begging with my heart unfurled

Sometimes good luck is with you

Sometimes your luck runs out

Sometimes you think you will break the bank

And then love turns you inside out

But you should never stop playing

You never know when you will score

Baby all that I’m saying

Is that you need to roll the dice once more
