[Verse 1] Roll up at the motel
Throwing back A. 45
Something in the air tonight
Leyna’s in the back room
Fat Donnie’s on his way
Charlie, should have brought your guns tonight

[Chorus] I don’t ever gamble more than I can lose
Although I’ve lost some things I needed
I don’t ever turn down things I can use
I could use a prayer, I could use a prayer tonight

[Verse 2] Charlie says, “Back in
And let the motor run”
He don’t know I’ve got my nine
“Welcome to the Jungle”
Playing on the radio
I know where I am and I know I could die

[Chorus] I don’t ever gamble more than I can lose
Although I’ve lost some things I needed
I don’t ever turn down things I can use
I could use a prayer, I could use a prayer tonight

[Bridge] I think about Mama
I think about the Lord
I think about all the things I’ve done
I don’t know if I’ll get out of this alive
Shit’s getting real up in here
And this shit ain’t no fun

[Chorus] I don’t ever gamble more than I can lose
Although I’ve lost some things I needed
I don’t ever turn down things I can use
I could use a prayer, I could use a prayer tonight
