Half a good gambler's luck, they say,

Is in knowing when it's time to walk away

Well, I finally broke even, and midnight is leaving

With most of my reasons to stay.

Luck be a lady and leave me alone,

So I can cash in my chips and go home.

 

But you can't, and I won't,

And I know, and we don't

want to turn on the chance that we see,

I know what I hold,

and it's too late to fold,

And I'm tired, but the drinks are free

 

So I will stand with my hands in my pockets

And wonder how I got lost in this dive

Hellbent on winning a few dirty pennies

And losing at life while it happens outside

Luck be a lady, and show me what's real

Before I gamble away what I feel

 

But you can't, and I won't,

And I know, and we don't

want to run out before we've run dry

I could lay down my bets

On a sure thing, and yet

I'm still trying to wager the sky

 

Past all of the words

And the unending turns I could track through

I just miss knowing

That I was the one you'd come back to

And I think I'm so strong

and so brave when I stay

But maybe I just don't know

when to call it a day

and if you could love me a little bit less

then maybe I'd just walk away

But you can't, and I won't,

And I know, and we don't

Want to let a good thing go to waste

And they deal out the cards,

and it keeps getting harder

To hold on to all that we've saved

 

but I can't, and I won't,

and I know that I'm not

going to give up on winning this hand

I know what I hold

and it's too late to fold

and this isn't the deal I had planned

but my gambler's luck

sees the chance that it struck

and I know

when to stay where I stand.
