Lyrics
I’m thinking too much, about the destination. If I’d enjoy the ride I’d probably get there sooner
But where in that would be the guarantee, that along the way I’d meet more like me: the losers, the loudest losers.
I should be thinking about the things I can’t afford but that kind of logic gets ignored when you’re winning, when you’re winning.
If I weren’t so afraid of losing, I bet I’d be winning, I bet I’d be winning
If I weren’t so afraid of losing, I bet I’d be winning, right from the beginning
I’m splitting again without eights or aces, ‘cause what fun would it be to just lose one hand?
By the time that I hit 21, my measly bet took away the fun in a hurry, so again I worry.
That this escape is costing me, I wish that the room and the food were free like what I’m drinkin’, it’s messing with my thinkin’
If I weren’t so afraid of losing, I bet I’d be winning, I bet I’d be winning
If I weren’t so afraid of losing, I bet I’d be winning, I bet I’d be winning
I’m doubling down, looks good against a 6 now, but something tells me that bitch is gonna pull it out
Even if it takes six cards, I’m sure she’d gladly go that far just to beat me,
The likeness with my life staggers me, except that here the drinks are free my brother, and I’ll have another
