Poor Man's Luck Video (MV)

Well, I walk into the bar with five bucks in my hand
The waitress knows my name, but she don't give a damn
Chasin' those aces, I keep throwin' down
But the cards never fall, and I'm the fool of this town

The dealer's smilin' wide as I throw my last dime
I swear every damn night, this is my final time
With dreams full of riches, but pockets full of air
Every round I'm all in, but luck's never fair

I'm a broke ass gambler with nothin' to my name
Lost the house and the truck, but I still play the game
Holdin' onto hope like a worn-out charm
Every hand I'm dealt just brings more harm

Sunday morning come, can't afford a single meal
Hockin' my last boots and my old fishing reel
Mama told me once to quit while I'm ahead
But these cards and this bottle, keep me locked in my bed

I see my old reflection in the whiskey glass
A dreamer turnin' desperate, how long can this last
The jukebox playin' 'bout some man who's struck gold
But all I feel's the cold as this life takes its toll

Some say lady luck's a friend, but she don't know my name
Each turn of a card brings a deeper shame
Pawn shop tickets and IOUs stacked high
The queen of hearts left me with tears in my eyes

I'm a broke ass gambler with nothin' to my name
Lost the house and the truck, but I still play the game
Holdin' onto hope like a worn-out charm
Every hand I'm dealt just brings more harm
Every hand I'm dealt just brings more harm

Sunday morning come, can't afford a single meal
Hockin' my last boots and my old fishing reel
Mama told me once to quit while I'm ahead
But these cards and this bottle, keep me locked in my bed
