I'm Still Winning

Now listen Buddy ain't I seen you before let me tell you my story I've had my ups and my downs the cards mostly fell for me You could say that I've played every game in town Never lost my nerve always doubled down I guess I took it too far and I lost all the glory Like a junky when he gets his fix An old dog with some brand new tricks Playing cards is how I get my kicks And I'm still winning baby I came from humble beginnings it's best not to mention I had a talent or two and the worst of intentions Knew how to count my cards mathematical fun I kept no queen of hearts got my love on the run I was the king of the crop, my stars were all in ascension Like a junky when he gets his fix An old dog with some brand new tricks Playing cards is how I get my kicks And I'm still winning baby Like a gangster going for the kill Others find it in a chemical pill A lucky hand is how I get my thrills And I'm still winning baby Oh I've been dreaming a lot about those days Just need one more chance To get back on top To see one more raise I knew my luck would run out That goes without saying I thought I played every side But who was doing the playing? And this bar's about rock bottom for me but buddy I ain't complaining I've got some cards And I just ain't paying, no, no Like a junkie when he gets his fix An old dog with some brand new tricks Playing cards is how I get my kicks And I'm still winning baby Like a gangster going for the kill Others find it in a chemical pill A lucky hand is how I get my thrills And I'm still winning baby Oh yes I am
