Casino Road Lyrics

The votes were counted and the bills were passed
And the shining future was here at last
Nobody loses, everybody wins
When that gambling money come rolling in
But I never did see no motherlode
Now I'm standing on the shoulder
Of casino road
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e80219-kevin_gordon~casino_road__lyrics.html ]
Saw the man talking on the TV screen
Said you can put your faith in the ace, king, and queen
I drove down there, I had a twenty-dollar bill
The liquor was free, and I had my fill
I was a richer man when the rooster crowed
Driving home from casino road

Seven come eleven daddy needs a friend
Ain't been home since I don't know when
One good hand, and I'm never coming back again . . .

Now the years go by and the cars go past
They got the white-wall tires, they got the black tinted glass
The wheel of fortune spins around and around
And the people keep laying their money down
But luck's as fickle as the wind that blows
Dust down the blacktop of casino road
