I took all that I had to my name
Marched in full of gin and cleaned the kitty out
Get your shoes, your coat on pronto babe, we're going out
See I've come home with my halo on
Gonna drown my pity
Gotta right my wrongs
Not rich and not out of tricks
Out of luck
Come on

Place your bets with mine
Save your reasons why
It's gone cloudy but the face full of pain don't lie

I thought hard, and wrote letters
But no one answered a mouth gone bitter
I count fourteen years to the day I've been without a job
See there's no wage for a guy my age
Got to buy my ticket got to bet my way
Not fixed and not out of tricks
Out of luck
Come on

Place your bets with mine
Ain't no reasons why
Gone cloudy but the face full of pain don't lie
Just hang your hope with mine
Come on honey, you never know what you'll find
