G. Edward McBride - I Wear A Mask 03:29
lyrics
Everyday I handle it Even though I feel like shit I'm sinking in a dismal empty hole I wear the smile on the outside But I'm dying on the inside What you see is not What I am Life's a gamble, I'm in shambles Little boy lost, can't you see They all think that they know me But I'm hiding like a jail escapee I wear this mask to blind the inner soul People say that they envy me But I'm drowning in melancholy I play this game to flee from agony Life's a gamble, I'm in shambles Little boy lost, can't you see Mother mother are you out there Can I come home Father father, can you meet us there I can't do this on my own

AG Y'all - Stacked Against Me 03:18
lyrics

The smell of the casino floor cigarettes and paramours Feeling like gods on my side today Lost on red so I bet on black Swore I was never coming back Slam another beer, roll and pray Flat broke. Busted. Blind. Get em next time! The deck's been stacked against me Again, Again Pour another whiskey try to find a friend The deck's been stacked against me Again, Again But I'll be back around honey when I got more money to spend Come on lucky seven Save me from this round Thought I had a winner doubled down Shirt is getting sticky Wallet pretty thin Lost all self control I still can't win

P Ferguson - Gambler's Lament 05:51
lyrics

Push again I could take these fools to town with just another dead man's hand I got bills my friend but I have a feeling that the river will be good to me in the end And I've got nothing to lose Calculate the odds are good that I might catch a straight and pay back all my debts to you One lucky hand is all I need again My luck is gonna change My luck is gonna change for the better This life is all I know my wife and kids they left me years ago said I had a problem. You've got a tell I fear 18 years and I'm still sitting here I think I can read most anyone I'm in the hole for nearly 20 grand but I'll call your bluff with one good hand My Luck is gonna change My Luck is gonna change Swear by god I'll strike you down this time My luck is gonna change for the better

Doug Davis - Won't Lay My Money Down 03:40
lyrics
buy track
Shivers come to a shout No matter what it's about Once you think you figured it out Oh, there ain't no stopping Your rage Drown my senses in sin Wondering when I begin Volunteer my Siamese twin Oh for the front lines don't say the money's tight the blood will start to flow soon as we get flush again we always come to blows you can do them fancy steps but your tell, it starts to show and I won't lay my money down when you start to speak you start your losing streak funny how you think you're a sneak oh, this situation and when that river she rise I've seen that look in your eyes The worst, backstage, rehearsing their lies Best lack all conviction Once again don't say the money's tight the blood will start to flow soon as we get flush again we always come to blows you can do them fancy steps but your tell, it starts to show and I won't lay my money down
