Gambling Man – words and music by Edward Hartline


It's all the same
Nobody ever cared to hear your name
To heal your heart
It's all a game
And who would ever try to take the blame
It's all your fault

I spent my days trying to pretend
That I have had the whole world in my hands
Another dollar bill could make amends
But a gambling man
Could sit upon his throne of untied ends
Just counting every day that he wins
But never try to look back at his plan
Well I'm a gambling man
Oh, I‘m a gambling man

It's just one night
A hundred dollar bill could make things right
Or would I pay
For just one more try
'Cause who could ever tell I'm not alright
Or would they say

I spend my days trying to pretend
That I have had the whole world in my hands
Another dollar bill could make amends
But a gambling man
Could sit upon his throne of untied ends
Just counting every dollar that he wins
But I’ve never tried to look back at this plan
‘Cause I’m a gambling man
Yes I’m a gambling man

And I spend my days trying to pretend
That I have had the whole world in my hands
Another dollar bill could make amends
For a gambling man
And I can sit upon this throne of untied ends
Just counting every day that I win
But I’ll never try to look back at this plan
‘Cause I’m a gambling man
Yes, I’m a gambling man
