The County Affair - Playing Poker Lyrics

Have my eye on the prize, never thinking of the risk,
Sure I've got the running flush - this could be the big deal.
Borrowed money from a man in a hat, said I'd pay him back by fall.
Snow's settling on the hilltops now, so I'm lying low.

Playing poker with my life, not for the first time
Playing poker with my life, not for the last

Last time, a man in the bar knew a jockey took a bung
I sold the car, went full in, you can guess the rest
Post to wire ran at the back, think it's still running now
Just another of those debts I got to pay

Playing poker with my life, not for the first time
Playing poker with my life, hope the cards fall well

I'm always looking for the aces, destiny just gives me twos
Only thing there is left now is my life to lose

Latest deal's just a scam, could double all my money
In so deep can't see the sky, now it ain't worth a dime
Every time I see a Stetson, I head to the shadow's edge
Fate's in town now, so how long can I hide?

Playing poker with my life, not for the first time
Playing poker with my life, I know I'll bet again
I know I'll bet again.
