Turkey Hill Run

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Scratching, scratching all the time I see you scratching all the lines Picking numbers, rolling the dice One more card, one more try You wear that grin like it's all fine But your hands shake when the lights go by Always parked by the Turkey Hill sign Counting change and feeding time [Pre-Chorus] And you say you’re just lucky Say the next one’s the one But the night keeps asking Where your paycheck gone [Chorus] 1 800 gambler Pick up, pick up now 1 800 gambler Before it takes you down Scratch off fever Burning in your hands 1 800 gambler Come back while you can [Verse 2] You ask a stranger for a five Say you’ll pay him back tonight Then you vanish in the cold With a fist full of almost gold Coffee gone cold in a paper cup Same old promise, same old luck Turkey Hill at closing time You’re still there with your last dime [Pre-Chorus] And you say you’re just lucky Say the next one’s the one But the night keeps asking Where your paycheck gone [Chorus] 1 800 gambler Pick up, pick up now 1 800 gambler Before it takes you down Scratch off fever Burning in your hands 1 800 gambler Come back while you can [Bridge] Look at your face in the glass How long can a streak like that last? The whole town knows your shadow Crossing over every day [Final Chorus] 1 800 gambler Pick up, pick up now 1 800 gambler Before it takes you down Scratch off fever Burning in your hands 1 800 gambler Come back while you can
