Lyrics

I won again !


Well I won that trip to Vegas, back in the Fall of ? 98
An? I?d never had much luck before, so the winnin? sure felt great
But I gave myself a limit ? eighty dollars split in tens
An? that?s all I took to bait my hook, an? try to win again
try to win again
try to win again

I?m thinkin? - when it?s gone it?s gone - Make my way back home
Play the slots with nothing to show,
An? I don?t care but wha? d? ya know I win, an? I won again
( repeat × 3 )

So I figure now I?ll move on up cause things are going my way
An? I find myself an empty chair so I sit down to play
An? the closest hand to 21 seems that?s the hand to win
My Cards come low but I kinda know, that I might win again
I might win again
I might win again

I?m thinkin? - when it?s gone it?s gone - Make my way back home
Finish my drink I?m about to go
On my last ten dollars wha? d? ya know I win, an? I won again
( repeat × 3 )

Check the average ? Looks like things are workin? fine, just takes time
Seems to work out ? You gon? guess how this thing ends??..
I reckon it up and yeah I won again , I won again
( repeat × 3 )

Well I?ve got myself a handle now and they call me eighties Jack
On account of the eight 10 dollar bills I keep pinned on my hat
An? if I ever loose ?em all the folks here knows that?s when
Ol? eighties Jack leaves Vegas, an? he won?t be back again
won?t be back again
won?t be back again

Because - when it?s gone it?s gone - make my way back home
So flip ?em over an? let ?em show
Well look at that now, wha? d? ya know I win , I won again
( × etc )
makin? me a bunch of friends
cause I won again ??. Etc
