Well here we go we're out and about
with the ones that like to shout
ended up at the Norwood drinking
i can feel my wallet shrinking
if i get caught up buyin' more rounds
then i declare bankruptcy now
will they throw down
im stuck in a jam
lucky im a gamblin' man

Theres something very special not working for the man
slogging dusk til dawn tryin to make it if i can
I wont stop looking
hustle for the scratch
we live, we die, it all gets left behind

so here we go
no time to moan
down to skin and bone
soon it will flow

well here we go i did it again
left too short without the bread
its fine no qualms i hear the noise
jingle in my pocket down through the coins
no joke im broke, broke as a joke
just settle on down keep tighting the rope
keep bleeding the folks
keep lighting the smokes
thats why im a gamblin' man

Theres something very special not working for the man
slogging dusk til dawn tryin to make it if i can
I wont stop looking
hustle for the scratch
we live, we die, it all gets left behind

so here we go
no time to moan
down to skin and bone
soon it will flow
