lyrics

This road I'm walking on
Hot concrete in the sun
It burns my feet but I push on
Each sign that's up ahead
Says I can't turn back again
I've gambled years and now they're gone

I'd hope that lady luck
Would spread her magic dust
And break the rules she makes
So double-down and deal away
Let it ride, don't take a pass
This game is moving way too fast
But I'm All-In anyway
I've anted up, it's up to fate

Each hope I've ever felt
There's a coin in a wishing well
And how it lands, it's heads or tales
But I've spent my life this way
Half asleep, not quite awake
Guess I've been dreaming all along

I'd hope that lady luck
Would spread her magic dust
The house wins any way
But you can bet that I'll still play
Spotlights don't ever last
But my life is moving way too fast
It feels like yesterday, so long ago, so far away

In this game that I've known.
It's the deal that I've made
And I've known all along
It's a risk that I'd take.

I'd hope that lady luck
Would spread her magic dust
She can take the pain away
And makes me numb like Novocain
Those highs don't ever last
And in a minute, it's gone like that
She can take it all away
Or give it back if you can wait
