[Verse 1]
Walked in the store with $20 for the slots
Left with a dollar, and a lotto ticket
Got back in the car and went back to the block
Now he in the house cooking up a new plot
First, it was stocks then weed crops
When they both failed, he ain’t bail
Could’ve invested in CBD, passed on it
When it blew up, he was like “doggone it.”
Tried to make an app but that backfired
Amazon made one and it was more fire
You can bet he ain’t turning down nothing but his collar
Even if he down to his last damn dollar
His wife came to him and said “this ain’t cute.”
“You need to go to a support group.”
When he walked in he knew he wouldn’t be back
And when his wife asked Johnny said: “fuck that.”
[Chorus]
I’m a gambling man
Down to try my luck, just to make a buck
I’m a gambling man
Put it all on the line, make it back next time
[Verse 2]
Johnny got a life that you can’t make up
Loss after loss and he ain’t gave up
Bet on the game, yeah, he put it all in
Bet on black but the house always wins
First, Power Ball then Pick 5
When they both failed, he ain’t bail
Could’ve invested in Netflix, passed on it
When it blew up, he was like “doggone it.”
Tried to trap but that backfired
The homie had shit that was way more fire
You can bet he ain’t turning down nothing but his collar
Even if he down to his last damn dollar
Judge came to him and said, “this ain’t cute.”
“You need to go to a support group.”
When he walked in he knew he wouldn’t be back
And when the judge asked, Johnny said “fuck that.”
[Chorus]
I’m a gambling man
Down to try my luck, just to make a buck
I’m a gambling man
Put it all on the line, make it back next time
[Bridge]
Hey dealer! I’d like to put $21 on 5
Place a bet while I still got time
Lost it all in the drop of a dime
That stomach sinking feeling
Came back to the table with chips
Now I’d like to put $21 on 6
This time, guaranteed to hit
What a rush I get, I got to admit
[Chorus]
I’m a gambling man
Down to try my luck, just to make a buck
I’m a gambling man
Put it all on the line, make it back next time
