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 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 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 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
