Russian Roulette

Back street dive down in New Orleans Gambler shows his face The place was full of jacks and queens But I never came up with that bread-winning ace Whisky's cheap at twice the price When it kills the pain of bad tumbling dice The scene's all set for an IOU Give it one more spin then that's me I'm through The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red Lost my shirt headed for the bar Gonna drown my sorrows in a whisky jar Head hung low because I got beat I see a hundred dollar bill layin' at my feet The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red Headed for the tables I'm wearin' my shades Got to find me a lucky green top Can't be one I've played My hands are shakin' don't wanna lose my cool Should I keep the big C or gamble like a fool? The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red The wheel's like a chamber in Russian roulette I'm takin' a chance and I'm gunnin' for red
