[Verse 1] I ride in with dust on my boots and my name No gold in my pocket, just cards and a flame I live by the shuffle, the risk and the thrill The game is my story, it’s bending my will [Chorus] I’m a gambler, I’m a drifter still The cards keep me bound, they always will Could’ve left, but I never will ’Cause the game holds me still [Verse 2] By day I’m a shadow, by night I’m alive In the smoke and the whiskey, I barely survive The lanterns burn low, but the stakes burn high I’ve lost and I’ve won under the same dim sky [Chorus] I’m a gambler, I’m a drifter still The cards keep me bound, they always will Could’ve left, but I never will ’Cause the game holds me still [Bridge] Some men find home in a woman’s eyes Some men chase gold till the desert dies But me, I belong where the tables turn In the fall of the cards, in the lessons I learn [Final Chorus] I’m a gambler, I’m a drifter still The cards keep me bound, they always will Could’ve left, but I never will Yeah, the game holds me still [Outro] If you pass through Storytellerz Ville You’ll find me here, and I’ll be playing still With cards in my hand and the night to kill I’m a gambler — and I always will
