Lyrics

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 passed 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
