Gonna leave today for a holiday
Gonna get that train, just go to spain
My life's been up & down, I wanna fool around
Been paying my bills & now I want some thrills

Yeah, I love to sin but I hate the sinners
I love to play but I hate to pay
It's been that way long before today
Won't you please understand, i'm just a gambling man

Just a gambling man

Yeah I might die tomorrow
I might die today
So I picked up my stuff
I made my getaway
I will have no sorrows
I will feel no pain
All the foolishness i've done
Was not done in vain

Always aimed for the long run
A pair of dukes was all I had
So I beg you to understand
I was just playing my hand
No I won't go to heaven
And I won't go straight to hell
I'm just another man under a woman's spell

Just another man, just another man
Just another man under a woman's spell

So I beg you to understand
I beg you to understand
I beg you to understand
I'm just a gambling man

Just a gambling man
