David's Gambling Fever

Verse 1: David, a man of simple joys, Loved his life, his family, and a gamble's alloys. An Oklahoma casino, his latest adventure, The thrill of the game, his heart's lone venture. Chorus: Gambling fever, it's taking hold, The promise of fortune, the story untold. Lights and sounds, a dazzling display, David's heart races, come what may. Verse 2: The cards were dealt, the game was on, Lady Luck seemed to be on his side, for a while, so strong. But as quickly as the luck had come, It vanished, leaving David's bankroll numb. Chorus: Gambling fever, it's taking hold, The promise of fortune, the story untold. Lights and sounds, a dazzling display, David's heart races, come what may. Bridge: Yvonne, his saintly wife, with a knowing smile, Blessed the $10 she gave, hoping to beguile. Armed with his newfound wealth, David's return, Determined to redeem, his losses to unlearn. Verse 3: The cards still unkind, his bankroll dwindling, But then, a miracle, a $200 win, his heart was tingling. With gratitude, he held Yvonne's $10 high, And the winning continued, his luck now on the fly. Chorus: Gambling fever, it's taking hold, The promise of fortune, the story untold. Lights and sounds, a dazzling display, David's heart races, come what may. Outro: David's thirst for the game, never to be quelled, The lure of the casino, his heart forever held. A simple man, with a complex desire, Gambling fever, his eternal fire.
