Now I’m not a betting man but I’ll play
these chips in my hand are burning up today
I thought I could buy a chance this way
but now I see that the devil just doubled down
It’s only a game if you think you can win
it’s only a bet when the fix isn’t in
it’s no fun playing if you know how it ends
so how come I keep putting my money down
When you gamble in the devil’s house — you will pay
you can bet the odds are stacked but there not stacked your way
win a couple hands but you won’t take it away
At he end of the game it’s you on the table face down
It’s only a game if you think you can win
it’s only a bet when the fix isn’t in
it’s no fun playing if you know how it ends
so how come I keep putting my money down
