Marty Stuart - Casino lyrics
[Marty Stuart - Casino lyrics]
They built a casino, out under the stars
With neon lights blinking
On tired rusty cars
Card sharks take my money
Whiskey puts me in jail
An oasis of misery, I know it so well
I pawned my last silver
It sparkled and shined and a beautiful ring
From the Black Hills gold mines
A hole in my pocket, that money did burn
A loser beyond, the point of return
My woman couldn't take, my Friday night ways
She left me in search of, her better days
Now I'm tortured by silence, and being alone
And the shadows of evil
That inherit my bones
So it's back to the place
Where I gamble on hope
(I've gambled all hope)
My name once respected, is now but a joke
As I stumble back home, I murmur a prayer
I can't help but wonder, is God really there
With neon lights blinking
On tired rusty cars
Card sharks take my money
Whiskey puts me in jail
An oasis of misery, I know it so well
I pawned my last silver
It sparkled and shined and a beautiful ring
From the Black Hills gold mines
A hole in my pocket, that money did burn
A loser beyond, the point of return
My woman couldn't take, my Friday night ways
She left me in search of, her better days
Now I'm tortured by silence, and being alone
And the shadows of evil
That inherit my bones
So it's back to the place
Where I gamble on hope
(I've gambled all hope)
My name once respected, is now but a joke
As I stumble back home, I murmur a prayer
I can't help but wonder, is God really there
