Gambler Train
Words and Music by Hurricane TK


I had a dream last night
It was the same old dream that keeps coming back.
The lights were so bright I was blinded
The casino was packed
Far away at the end, I saw my angel
The beat got faster as I got closer
When I woke up, my angel was gone
Playin’ safe too long

Here comes the gambler train
One way is all I can afford
Tonight I’ll break the chain
Yeah, I’m ready to get on board
On the gambler train

Read all I could
Watched CNN for words of wisdom
But I’m still crawlin’ on the floor
Tickin’ like a time bomb
Hop into my Ford, another nine to five
The stakes are high to keep this life
To where the heart is I’ve gotta go
Before I explode

Here comes the gambler train
See my Angel through the window
I’ll never come back again
If I could just get on board
On the gambler train.

The railway of pride has been restored
The poor and ignored, all aboard
Wheels are turnin’
Let the good times roll
I’ve waited too long

Here comes the gambler train
One way is all I can afford
Tonight I will break the chain
Yeah, I’m ready to get on board
On the gambler train
Are you ready to get on board?
On the gambler train
I’m ready to get on board
On the gambler train
