Baby how you doing, where you been
You asked me for my heart I went all in
And left my loving soul in California
I never called that bluff I ought to warn you
Well I tried to be a gambler but my hand got dealt all wrong
I lost myself while searching for a song
I maybe should've listened boy you don't go chasing cards
Stay true to who you are and you'll go far
Take away that risk I can not handle
Give away the chips I left remain
Tell my ma and daddy that I love em
And I aint much known for gambling anyway
Wish I was a king but I'm a jack
Of all trades aint no good at coming back
A gal like you could use a man like me
But here I'm off to Memphis Tennessee
Well I tried to be a gambler but my hand got dealt all wrong
I lost myself while looking for a song
I maybe should've listened boy you don't go chasing cards
Stay true to who you are and you'll see stars
Take away that risk I cannot handle
Giveaway the chips I left remain
Tell my ma and daddy that I love them
And I aint much known for gambling anyway
Well I tried to be a gambler, but my hand got dealt all wrong
A pair of hearts is what we outta long
Tried to bet on red, to forget the things you said
But all I'm left is 6 strings and a song
Take away that risk I cannot handle
Giveaway the chips I left remain
Tell my ma and daddy that I love them
Guess I aint cut out for gambling anyway
