I've lived a life of good times
Money and women came my way
But I always lost in both
'Cause all streaks turn cold someday
And then here come the bad times
But when they come they never stay
Because I leave it all behind
The diamonds in the night sky light my way
That's the way it goes
In this life we chose
My heart is with this life
Though it cost me everything
Fear of loss, it keeps you
Stuck in some place you don't want to stay
But I've lost it all and come back many times
I'll never be afraid
That's the way it goes
In this life we chose
You've got to take a chance
If it costs you everything
That's the way it goes
In this gambler's life
This is what we chose
So I'll roll the dice
