Gamblin' Fool
I'm a gamblin' fool, and I never win,
but that don't stop me from comin' back again
in the lottery line, with a great big grin,
someday, I think, lady luck's gonna be my friend
I'm the type of guy who keeps his keys in the car
I put my feet on the ground and hang my hat on a star
I guess my big estate will just have to wait
I threw out the line she didn't take the bait

I'd take my last buck and throw it in the breeze,
the commercial on T.V. says I have a disease
well, I know it's true, I'd take the bet,
I'd lay three to one on when the sun would set
I'm a gamblin' fool, my number's gonna come up soon
I'm a gun fighter waiting for high noon
One day when my ship comes in, and I know it will
I'll be drinking champaigne in my big house on the hill

Well it may be a dream, but I don't care
any dream is better than a nightmare
and I know all about losin', I've had my fair share
