Casino

Lyrics

They built a casino, out under the stars With neon lights blinking, on tired rusty cars Card sharks take my money, whiskey puts me in jail An oasis of misery, I know it so well I pawned my last silver, it sparkled and shined And a beautiful ring, from the Black Hills gold mines A hole in my pocket, that money did burn A loser beyond, the point of return My woman couldn't take, my Friday night ways She left me in search of, her better days Now I'm tortured by silence, and being alone And the shadows of evil, that inherit my bones So it's back to the place, where I gamble on hope (I've gambled all hope) My name once respected, is now but a joke As I stumble back home, I murmur a prayer I can't help but wonder, is God really there
