A Game In Town Like This Lyrics

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
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 costI'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
Who would go to Vegas with a game in town like this?
