Hot Shot Gambler

(album: Water's Edge - 1980)

I've been much too long in this old casino
Run out of money and luck
I gotta find a way to that lucky number
Say: "Buddy, can you give me a buck?"
A fortune lost when the dice was tossed
Spin of the wheel was my friend
I though I knew when the bridge was crossed
Forget about tomorrow, live for today

I'm a hot shot gambling man
Playing my game the only way I can
I'm a hot shot gambling man
Comming on home to you
Yeah, I'm a hot shot lover
Comming on home to you, yeah, yeah

I hope you understand the way I change my plan
How I've falling for a lady like you
I got three off a kind and I won the prize
And they all turned out to be you
You brought me 'round when the chips was down
You made the ace of hearts my friend
Now I know I'll never be on my own
I live for tomorrow, 'cause yesterday's gone

I'm a hot shot gambling man
Playing my game the only way I can
I'm a hot shot gambling man
Comming on home to you
Yeah, I'm a hot shot lover
Comming on home to you, yeah, yeah

A fortume lost when the dice where tossed
A spin of the wheel was my friend
I though I knew when the bridge was crossed
Forget about tomorrow gotta live for today

I'm a hot shot gambling man
Playing my game the only way I can
I'm a hot shot gambling man
Comming on home to you
Yeah, I'm a hot shot lover
Comming on home to you, yeah, yeah

Yeah, I'm a hot shot gambling man
Playing my game the only way I can
Yeah, I'm a hot shot gambling man
Comming on home to you
Yeah, I'm a hot shot lover
Comming on home to you, yeah

Hot shot gambling man
Yeah, I'm a hot shot gambling man
