It's smoke in your clothes and tired in your eyes
Motels and parking lot views
Spent the better half of half my life
In and out like weather rolls through
I've taken some wins, a couple bad losses
A whole lot less yeses than no's
Caught up in the gamble, forgot what the cost is
But I'm turning these wheels for home
So so long to the highway, so long to the game
So long to the hope they remember my name
I'm off to the counter with my chips in hand
It ain't worth a killing, but it's sure worth a damn
Leave my seat at the table, I'll be back around
It ain't goodbye forever but for now, I'm cashing out
There's a girl on the front porch who looks just like me
Waving goodbye as I go
Those tears in her eyes make it so hard to leave
I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So so long to the highway, so long to the game
So long to the hope they remember my name
I'm off to the counter with my chips in hand
It ain't worth a killing, but it's sure worth a damn
Leave my seat at the table, I'll be back around
It ain't goodbye forever but for now, I'm cashing out
Lost sight of the prize in the thrill of the race
But a good run of luck's gotta end
Cause I'm just a joker holding an ace
So I'm putting my money on othem
