Let it ride
(You gotta let it ride)
I got two jacks down and a drink in my hand
I've been down all night but coming up again
I'm on a roll and it feels like a capitol crime
I'm having dirty Martinis and a hell of a time
There's an angel on my right telling me think twice
(Think twice)
And a devil on my left says roll the dice
Stay, hit, split, double down now lets go
I've been up all night, gonna loose my mind
I'm on a hell-town holiday
You say anything goes but everybody knows
That the price is high to pay
And if I come back home with my paycheck blown
My wallets gone flat and my moneys gone
And I find my clothes waiting on the lawn
I got one chance left tonight
You gotta let it ride
(Ride, let it ride)
I'm gonna crash and burn tonight
Like a runaway truck on the highway through the night
You gotta let it ride
(Let it ride)
'Til the brake of the morning light
If the ace and jack come back I'm gonna be all right
Tell it like it is
Next on the list is a personal treat
I got Sharlene coming to my hotel suite
Big blonde hair and cheap as a dime
I've been dipped in the gutter by check out time
There's an angel on my right telling me think twice
(Think twice)
And a devil on my left says roll the dice
Stay, hit, split, double down, now lets go
I've been up all night, gonna loose my mind
I'm on a hell-town holiday
You say anything goes but everybody knows
That the price is high to pay
And if I come back home with my paycheck blown
My wallets gone flat and my moneys gone
And I find my clothes waiting on the lawn
I got one chance left tonight
You gotta let it ride
(Ride, let it ride)
I'm gonna crash and burn tonight
Like a runaway truck on the highway through the night
You gotta let it ride
(Let it ride)
'Til the brake of the morning light
If the ace and jack come back I'm gonna be all right
Listen up, I'll tell ya
I've heard it said across the land
You've always gotta bet on black
Well I sold my soul for a stack of chips
Now I'm gonna win it back
Ten, that's a winning hand
Four, I'm not quite sure
Pair, I'm almost there, I've got one chance left tonight
You gotta let it ride
(Ride, let it ride)
I'm gonna crash and burn tonight
Like a runaway truck on the highway through the night
You gotta let it ride (let it ride)
'Til the brake of the morning light
If the ace and jack come back I'm gonna be all right
