[Verse 1]
I told my lover before I left that I would stay away
From neon lights and the big casinos where there is no night or day
But the rich man’s playground is the poor man’s dream
And I was dreamin’, I guess
Thinking I could find some kind of shortcut, an easy road to success

[Chorus]
They say there are no winners who don’t gamble, if you do, the chances are you’ll lose
I’m going back to Frisco from Stateline, Nevada
I’ve got the gambler’s blues

[Verse 2]
Spent way too much of my hard-earned money to feel good about playin’ the game
But the thing that has me worried so bad is I’ll probably do it again

[Chorus]
They say there are no winners who don’t gamble, if you do the chances are you’ll lose
I’m going back to Frisco from Stateline, Nevada
I’ve got the gambler’s blues

They say there are no winners who don’t gamble, if you do the chances are you’ll lose
I’m going back to Frisco from Stateline, Nevada
I’ve got the gambler’s blues
