lets all take a back seat to the man behind the wheel let's all dance on two left feet to the fool who doesn't feel let's all lie down on the track and wait for the train to depart let's all take a back seat to the emptiness of a heart cruising down a one way street going backwards doing 95 one hand on the wheel, nothing left to feel in the rear mirror, I'm doing fine tracking thorough the parking lot my vehicle I left behind I bet if this was a truck stop You'd be pulling 9 to 5 I dealt the cards on the table face down so we couldn't see I'm driving my winnings into the middle of nowhere I'm the loser, but I'll never be your enemy ***but I won't let you drive I'm a gamblin' man I fall down, on a roll of the dice but I get back up when I can***

I'm a gamblin' man
