Il testo della Nothin' to lose

I am a gambler, god knows i've been around
I've lived it up, now, i'm livin' it down
I've played some hunches and i've played some blues
A man with nothin', ain't got nothin' 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 nothin' ain't got nothin' 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 nothin' ain't got nothin' 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 nothin' ain't got nothin' 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 gamblin' and i'll have to refuse
A man with nothin' ain't got nothin' 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 nothin' ain't got nothin' 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 nothin' ain't got nothin' to lose

Nothin' to lose
Nothin' to lose
Nothin' to lose
