Paroles
She's got a new haircut and tattoo
The radio bangin' those I-40 blues
A .38 in the drawer
With a Bible nobody reads no more
It's a high price to spend
For these lost souls aren't your friends
Are you still having fun
You've become quite the prodigal son
Left behind guns and photographs
All they are are memories
Said I'd never forget this town
But it doesn't remember me
Now all the joys of flesh and gold
Are yours to touch and spend
But the devil has no self-control
And the house always seems to win
Father Time's still undefeated
This time it feels like he cheated
If I had seen this twist
Would have dressed nicer than this
Now we're going through all five stages
And I think it's gonna take ages
But a train's gotta stay on its tracks
I'll try and paint over the cracks
Left behind guns and photographs
All they are are memories
Said I'd never forget this town
But it doesn't remember me
Now all the joys of flesh and gold
Are yours to touch and spend
But the devil has no self-control
And the house always seems to win
Tell me are you a gambling man
As the dice fly out of your hand
Things I didn't say but I wish I had
Seems all my luck is bad
