Losing Hand

(album: Poor Boy / Lucky Man - 2009)

Your slot machine is broken
But that's where my coins will go
I'm a gambling man, I am
But I like it when the odds are low

You're dealing from your elbow
And the aces are packing in
I'm a gambling man, I am
And I've seen a cheating girl, I've seen

Tonight, too hard to stop two hearts to beat
To know two rights from wrong
Tonight too hard to deal two hearts
When everybody's letting go

The bets are on the table
And the queen of spades is here
The one eyed jack of diamonds
Is whispering in her ear
Saying "girl look out"

Tonight, too hard to stop two hearts to beat
To know two rights from wrong
Tonight too hard to deal two hearts
When everybody's letting go

The stakes are getting higher
So I fold my cards and go
I'm a gambling man, I am
And I know a losing hand, I know
