The Gambler Lyrics

He stumbled backwards thru the door
He smelled of gin and cold cold smoke
His wife and kids fear nothing more
This mighty ship has left the shore
No one else can feel his pain
He lost the game once more again
The tide is coming in
His words ran down his feral face
He shivered like an earthquake
Once he was full of grace
But the Benjamins took his faith
No one else can feel his pain
He lost the game once more again
The tide is coming in

He left his home as a man
Now he needs a helping hand
Come back home like a man
He didn't know how this could happen
He didn't know our love
So he left them with a weapon
Embers rose up thru the clouds
No one else can feel his pain
He lost the game once more again
The tide is coming in
He left his home as a man
Now he needs a helping hand
Come back home like a man
He left his home as a man
Now he needs a helping hand
Come back home like a man
*crickets chirping*
