Lyrics
When I was a boy life wasn't so easy
I didn't like school that drove my dad crazy
3 brothers 5 sisters to share everything we had
A real loving Mother and a hard working Dad we didn't eat steak
but it wasn't so bad
With lots of love we felt like millionairs.
Life is like a roulette wheel
Goes round and round never cuts you a deal
The little white ball stops where it wants
You play your hand and take life's knocks
Life is like a big roulette wheel
AT age 19 I got my first real job
Married my girl within a month
I was a dad before I was 21
We worked real hard to keep what we had
Made extra money playing in the band
Not the best way to raise a family
Life is like a roulette wheel
Goes round and round never cuts you a deal
The little white ball stops where it wants
You play your hand and take life's knocks
Life is like a big roulette wheel
I tried real hard to play it cool
Played the field and broke the rules
I made mistakes and lost it all
But now I'm back , lets roll that ball
Life is like a roulette wheel
Goes round and round never cuts you a deal
The little white ball stops where it wants
You play your hand and take life's knocks
Life is like a big roulette wheel
