Playing Poker - Unplugged
Have my eye on the prize, never thinking of the risk
Sure I've got the running flush, this could be the big deal
Borrowed money from a man in a hat, said I'd pay him back by fall
Snow's settling on the hilltops now, so I'm lying low
Playing poker with my life
Not for the first time
Playing poker with my life
Not for the last
Last time a man in the bar knew a jockey took a bung
I sold the car, went full in, you can guess the rest
Post to wire ran at the back, think it's still running now
Just another of those debts I got to pay
Playing poker with my life
Not for the first time
Playing poker with my life
Hope the cards for well
I'm always looking for the aces
Destiny just gives me twos
Only thing there is left now is my life to lose
Latest deal's just a scam, could double all my money
In so deep can't see the sky, now it ain't worth a dime
Every time I see a Stetson, I head to the shadow's edge
Fate's in town now, so how long can I hide?
Playing poker with my life
Not for the first time
Playing poker with my life
I know I'll bet again
I know I'll bet again
Sure I've got the running flush, this could be the big deal
Borrowed money from a man in a hat, said I'd pay him back by fall
Snow's settling on the hilltops now, so I'm lying low
Playing poker with my life
Not for the first time
Playing poker with my life
Not for the last
Last time a man in the bar knew a jockey took a bung
I sold the car, went full in, you can guess the rest
Post to wire ran at the back, think it's still running now
Just another of those debts I got to pay
Playing poker with my life
Not for the first time
Playing poker with my life
Hope the cards for well
I'm always looking for the aces
Destiny just gives me twos
Only thing there is left now is my life to lose
Latest deal's just a scam, could double all my money
In so deep can't see the sky, now it ain't worth a dime
Every time I see a Stetson, I head to the shadow's edge
Fate's in town now, so how long can I hide?
Playing poker with my life
Not for the first time
Playing poker with my life
I know I'll bet again
I know I'll bet again
