Lyrics

Sometimes I believe
I was born to be a thief
Born to look for more
Than I can see

I’m all out of love
I’m all out of hate,
When they put me in the ground
The devil’s out of work


Doesn’t matter how you roll the dice
It’s still the same old godamn luck every night
There’s echoes of my past life every stop on the line



Sometimes I believe
I was born to be a thief
Born to look for more
Than I can see

I’m all out of love
I’m all out of hate,
When they put me in the ground
The devil’s out of work



I wound up no place special on the map
Wearing devil skin boots and a half-inch trucker cap
I ain’t got a Gambling problem just a horse that never wins
