Verse 1:
I feel like a riverboat gambler
Most of the time
When desire drifts across my mind
Casting bets like nets just seeing what I catch
Cashing in chips that only increase my debt
Keeps me playing all night
Chorus:
Pushing trouble far away from me
Mistaking a fantasy for destiny
Caught in a world meant for the lonely running from
What I'm meant to be
Like a riverboat gambler lost
Lost at sea
Verse 2:
It's getting easier to play and lose
Another passenger on a hell bound cruise
Words of fools floating in the air
Filling my head saying you know better
But there's still an escape if I choose
Chorus:
Pushing trouble far away from me
Mistaking a fantasy for destiny
Caught in a world meant for the lonely running from
What I'm meant to be
Like a riverboat gambler lost
Lost at sea
Bridge:
Miles of endless waves and sunless days
I see the lighthouse beacon far away
Fading dimmer the longer I stay
Tell me baby will you wait for me
I'm coming home, someday soon,
Chorus:
Pushing trouble far away from me
Mistaking a fantasy for destiny
Caught in a world meant for the lonely running from
What I'm meant to be
Like a riverboat gambler lost
Lost at sea
Outro:
Like a riverboat gambler lost
Lost at sea
