[Verse] I met him at the table, cards spread wide, A twinkle in his eye, I should've seen the lie. With the clink of coins, he called my hand, And I felt the noose tighten as I made my stand. [Verse] Down the dusty road, I gambled and I bet, Put my last dollar on a horse named Regret. With every win and loss, I felt my soul decay, Chasing highs and lows as life slipped away. [Chorus] I gambled with the devil, lost more than I could keep, Traded all my tomorrows for a promise he won't keep. Now I'm left here wanderin', an empty, hollow man, The devil’s grinnin’ wide, as I play my losing hand. [Verse] The whiskey took the edge off, but couldn’t soothe the pain, In the dim-lit barrooms where my heart was slain. Each roll of the dice, each spin of the wheel, The devil’s aces hidden, sealing my deal. [Verse] Saw my own reflection in the broken glass, Eyes that once sparkled, now cold and crass. Pawned my soul for riches, found only despair, The devil's laugh echoes, filling the air. [Chorus] I gambled with the devil, lost more than I could keep, Traded all my tomorrows for a promise he won't keep. Now I'm left here wanderin', an empty, hollow man, The devil’s grinnin’ wide, as I play my losing hand.
