Story Behind The Song
My son was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune College week. We attended a full day of taping. He was on one of the later episodes taped. It gave me lots of time to think about him as a child and what he has grown to be and also a metaphor occurred to me about the gamble romantic relationships represent as wheel. I wrote the lyrics waiting for his show to be taped.
Song Description
My son was on Wheel of Fortune and it got me to thinking about him and his development and growth. Also about how you spin the wheel of fortune when you venture into relationships, sometimes you win, and sometimes you don't.

Lyrics
Wheel of Fortune
And who would have thought
We?d find ourselves here
In this hell of a mess
Your eyes filled with tears
CHORUS
Like a wheel of fortune
Spun ?round on a whim
You gamble for love
And no ? one wins.
And who could have guessed,
Oh baby, hold close to your heart
The memories of love
When our world fell apart
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The wheel goes round
The prize passes by
Turns out it was rigged
And all one big lie
CHORUS
And I should have known
That the game soon would end
The hype and the lights
No money to spend
CHORUS
Like a wheel of fortune
Spun ?round on a whim
You gamble for love
And no???.
one wins.
