Phil Spillman - Losing Streak Lyrics

In the desert besides the water
You were the master of disguise
I was a fool falling for a mirage
I fell for all your lies

You were a bottom of the deck dealer
You held the cards you held the chips
You were a slight of hand magician
Whose blackjack game kept giving me hits

So I rolled the dice and came up empty
Like so many out wandering the strip
You and the Marlboro man ran over my heart
One night down Route 66
Now I've got Patsy and a suitcase
I've got open road through the desert heat
And you won't be cheating on this house anymore
I'm breaking my losing streak

You were a sweet talking gambler
Whose eyes showed just enough
You played your cards like I was your only
Never once did I call your bluff

So I rolled the dice and came up empty
Like so many out wandering the strip
You and the Marlboro man ran over my heart
One night down Route 66
Now I've got Patsy and a suitcase
I've got open road through the desert heat
And you won't be cheating on this house anymore
I'm breaking my losing streak

I placed my bet on love
I pushed my heart all in
But the wheel kept landing on black
You're a mistake I won't make again
In this city of sin

So I rolled the dice and came up empty
Like so many out wandering the strip
You and the Marlboro man ran over my heart
One night down Route 66
Now I've got Patsy and a suitcase
I've got open road through the desert heat
And you won't be cheating on this house anymore
I'm breaking my losing streak
