Rolling Seven the Hard Way
Lady luck is on my side,
Each time I roll a seven.
Every time I let it ride,
I bet a ride to heaven.
The sweat beads on my forehead,
When I feel the dice are hot.
I'm heading for my homestead,
All the times that they are not.
When I'm on a lucky ride,
Then I know I just can't lose.
When they take my foolish pride,
Then I'm loading up on booze.
Casino lights draw me in;
An addiction, yes I know.
Some say it's a mortal sin,
But still, you can bet I'll go.
