Nothin' To Lose

I am a gambler, God knows I've been around
 I've lived it up and now I'm livin' it down
 I've played some hunches and I've played some blues
 A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose
 I thought my woman was my ace in the hole
 But when she left me I was out of control
 I've just had bad luck since I got the news
 A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose
 Old lady luck ain't nobody's friend
 And old dame fortune broke my heart in the end
 Love was the one thing I tried not to abuse
 A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose

 I like casinos and I love slot machines
 I lost a fortune, if you know what I mean
 Those one armed bandits was the wrong thing to choose
 A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose
 You wanna help me, do you know where I'm at?
 Don't try to change me girl, it's too late for that
 You say "quit gambling," and I'll have to refuse
 A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose
 I lost it all, I don't have no more to give
 The doctor tells me I don't have long to live
 My friends all say they'd hate to be in my shoes
 A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose

 You say salvation is the one thing I need
 It's hell or heaven that I'm just a bad seed
 What makes you think you have the right to accuse
 A man with nothing ain't got nothing to lose
