Corb Lund - A Game In Town Like This Lyrics
I can't fade that kind of action but my name's there on the listWho 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 homeYou used to wake all sleepy headed and ask me if I wonSometimes 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 beenCuttin' 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 sleeveMy bleary, up-all-nighted eyes misread it for a heartNow 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 beenCuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.I sat down with 'em one last time as I passed thru months agoDonated a couple thousand, smiled, stood up and hit the road.With that old familiar empty feelin' of time and treasure lostThe game's the same, ain't nothin's changed except now I know the costI'm a losin' lately gambler but I've booked my share of winsI still see some value there but my edge is pretty thinI'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever beenCuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.I can't fade that kind of action but my name's there on the listWho would go to Vegas with a game in town like this?
