Gambling Business - Bring The Light Home

I went down to the corner Just to meet my gal I found her standin' on the sidewalk She was talkin'to my pal I strolled back to the barroom To get another drink of gin But the first thing I knew I was leavin' A'rockin' the drunk again Well I kept on drinkin' gin and liquor Way up into the night When my pal walked into the barroom Man we had a terrible fight I reached down for my razor And then I knocked him around But when I pulled my pistol I quickly smoked him down I went down to see my baby I met her on the way I told her I had to leave her I told her I could not stay I started down to the station I stopped in at the bar And there I met a policeman He was cruisin' 'round in his car My baby came in to join us Then it began to rain Man, I was in a hurry Had to catch the midnight train I laid my head on the barroom door I never be drunk no more I pawned my watch, and my gold an' diamonds I pawned my baby's diamond ring I said, hey - hey - hey Hey - hey - hey - hey - hey, oh yeah Hey - hey - hey Hey - hey - hey - hey - hey, oh no

I've got a gambling addiction And I confuse love with attention So I keep betting everything that I have on people who don't stay I've got a gambling addiction But I don't raise, I don't call I go all in, all of the time On people who don't feel the same So, I keep losing to the house I'll never learn my lesson Losing to the house, because it's just a guessing game I haven't figured out how to play in moderation But with all of my losses someday, I'm probably gonna win I've got a gambling addiction And I place bets based off affection But I never stay when I should so I always catch 22 I've got a gambling addiction But I'm bad at bluffing and making predictions So love is a lottery where I always lose I keep losing to the house I'll never learn my lesson Losing to the house, because it's just a guessing game I haven't figured out how to play in moderation But with all of my losses someday, I'm probably gonna win I wanna be: pulling lucky numbers and praying to lucky stars Finding four-leaf clovers and counting all of my cards But I'm walking under ladders Seeing black cats Spilling table salt and stepping on every crack And yet I'm still trying to turn my thirteens into sevens So I'm crossing all my fingers and I'm pressing all my luck Cos I know misfortune just won't be enough To keep me from betting it all on love, again That's why I keep losing to the house I'll never learn my lesson Losing to the house, because it's just a guessing game I haven't figured out how to play in moderation But with all of my loses someday I'm probably gonna win, right?

I just stepped off the train Dodging the evening rain These days just ain't the same without you, lady Right now my feet are wet And they don't know the steps Or maybe they regret me leaving, lady You're my passport home My guiding light My hand to hold Oh, don't you know that you're my passport home Without you close I can't go on So darling keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on I step back on the stage The people call my name These crowds just ain't the same without you, lady And though they sing along I'd rather hear your song again, again Oh, don't you know that you're my passport home My guiding light My hand to hold Oh, don't you know that you're my passport home Without you close I can't go on You're the only one who knows every weakness I've exposed And I can't believe you chose to see this through You're the picture in my heart and I loved you from the start That's the reason I keep coming back to you So darling keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on Keep the light on You're my passport home Without you close I can't go on
