A Game In Town Like This Lyrics - Corb Lund

Playin' late night crazy pot size games with the Asian dealers who With all that tax free money got deeper pockets than I do 

I can't fade that kind of action but my name's there on the list 

Who would go to Vegas with a game in town like this? 

Stuck in chilly morning traffic cuz I always played too long Headed north across the bridge and wish'n you were there at home 

You used to wake all sleepy headed and ask me if I won 

Sometimes I'd just say nothing and now I'm living with what I've done. 

I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been 

Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win. 

The chips were racked and ready and I was standing up to leave Looked down and caught a diamond queen tuggin' at my sleeve 

My bleary, up-all-nighted eyes misread it for a heart 

Now the money's gone, it's just past dawn and we're a half world apart. 

I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been 

Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win. 

I sat down with 'em one last time as I passed thru months ago 

Donated a couple thousand, smiled, stood up and hit the road. 

With that old familiar empty feelin' of time and treasure lost 

The game's the same, ain't nothin's changed except now I know the cost 

I'm a losin' lately gambler but I've booked my share of wins 

I still see some value there but my edge is pretty thin 

I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been 

Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win. 

I can't fade that kind of action but my name's there on the list 

Who would go to Vegas with a game in town like this?
