Gambling Man
Another chorus I wrote some years ago. I don’t remember when or why. I finished it today because I enjoy the process, and because the world doesn’t have enough cliche infested country songs 🙂
Lyrics:
Just another broken heart
rolled the dice, the odds against me right from the start
love is a gamble and I’m a gambling man
sometimes you leave the table with nothing in your hands
She smiled at me and the night caught fire,
Like the neon knew her name
I should’ve seen those sparks expire,
But I walked on into the flame
We talked until the lights went low,
My heart wanted it to be right
Thought I’d found the one, but no
I never saw the fading light
Funny how a moment fools your plans
‘Til it’s slips right on through your hands
[Chorus]
Hold on tighter than the truth,
Hoping fate will change the plan
But luck don’t bend for reckless hearts—
It never has, it never can
[Chorus]
Nothing in your hands…
