A Game In Town Like This
Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans

Playin' late night crazy pot size games with the Asian dealers who

With all that tax free money got deeper pockets than I do

I can't fade that kind of action but my name's there on the list

Who would go to Vegas with a game in town like this?


Stuck in chilly morning traffic cuz I always played too long

Headed north across the bridge and wish'n you were there at home

You used to wake all sleepy headed and ask me if I won

Sometimes I'd just say nothing and now I'm living with what I've done.


I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been

Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.


The chips were racked and ready and I was standing up to leave

Looked down and caught a diamond queen tuggin' at my sleeve

My bleary, up-all-nighted eyes misread it for a heart

Now the money's gone, it's just past dawn and we're a half world apart.



I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been

Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.


I sat down with 'em one last time as I passed thru months ago

Donated a couple thousand, smiled, stood up and hit the road.

With that old familiar empty feelin' of time and treasure lost

The game's the same, ain't nothin's changed except now I know the cost


I'm a losin' lately gambler but I've booked my share of wins

I still see some value there but my edge is pretty thin

I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been

Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.


I can't fade that kind of action but my name's there on the list

Who would go to Vegas with a game in town like this?
