Intro

Verse 1

They built a casino out under the stars

 With neon lights blinkin' on tired rusty cars

 Card sharks take my money, Whiskey puts me in jail

 An oasis of misery I know it so well

Verse 2

 I pawned my last silver it sparkled and shined

 And a beautiful ring from the black hills gold mine

 A hole in my pocket that money did burn

 A loser beyond the point of return

Solo

Verse 3

 My woman couldn't take my Friday night ways

 She left me in search of her better days

 Now I'm tortured by silence and being alone

 And the shadows of evil that inherit my bones

Verse 4

 So it's back to the place where I gambled on hope

 My name once respected is now but a joke

 Cause I stumble back home, I murmur a prayer

 And can't help but wonder is God really there

Steel solo
