Forgive me now for getting too deep
I'm in the middle of a losing streak
I'm such a fool I thought I had it made
But it was only for a couple days

The hotel rooms
The girls and the booze
Nobody likes to lose

I'm only king for a day
Tomorrow this will all go away
I'm only king for a day
Tomorrow this will all go away

Just look at me all out of cash
I didn't spend it on a New Year's Bash
I made some bets I couldn't resist
I took a shot I took a swing and missed

The rolling dice
The cards in my hands
I didn't understand

I'm only king for a day
Tomorrow this will all go away
I'm only king for a day
Tomorrow this will all go away

No ocean front view and there's not much to do
I'm dreaming it all away
I'm just the king
The king for a day

I'm only king for a day
Tomorrow this will all go away
I'm only king for a day
Tomorrow this will all go away

I'll cry in my beer get the hell out of here
I'm dreaming it all away
I'm just the king
The king for a day
