(Verse 1)
In the dusty town of Dead Men’s Bend,
I sit at my table, wait for my end.
Like a spider in its web, I silently wait,
For my next victim to fall in my bait.

(Pre-Chorus)
When the sun dips low, the night’s alive,
That’s when I start my game to thrive.
Farmers and workers, they come to unwind,
And some just escape what they leave behind.

(Chorus)
I’m the gambler, the master of lies,
With a wink and a smile, I hypnotize.
They sit at my table, think they can win,
But my poker face hides the devil within.
No morals, no honor, just the thrill of the game,
In Dead Men’s Bend, I carve my name.
My ace in the hole, I keep it unseen,
Winning’s the only thing that keeps me mean.

(Verse 2)
They call me charming, a man of good grace,
But I’m just a predator in this dark place.
Offer them riches, a moment of fame,
Soon they’re just pawns in my wicked game.

(Pre-Chorus)
I charm their pride, I flatter their soul,
And soon they’re losing all control.
Three players sit, their hopes alive,
But I’ve got tricks that help me thrive.

(Verse 3)
Beneath the dimmly glow of the saloon’s light,
I play my hand through the long, dark night.
Whispering promises, I whisper in their ear,
Soon they’re mine, and their hopes disappear.

(Verse 4)
They come for a break from the daily grind,
But leave with less than what they had in mind.
I take their money, their pride, their tears,
In Dead Men’s Bend, I conquer their fears.

(Bridge)
When the jackpot’s high, I make my move,
Their hopes are high, but I’ve got nothing to prove.
In this town, I hold all the cards,
Never lose, no matter how hard.

(Outro)
So if you come to Dead Men’s Bend,
Watch your step, or you’ll meet your end.
For I’m the gambler, the shadow, the sin,
And in this town, I always win.
