VERSE 3 She said she's still searching for salvation's light. Yeah, she wishes all day, and she prays all night. She said she won't speak of love, ‘cause love she's never known. And it's moments like these, she hates to be alone. CHORUS Musical Break CHORUS (x2) Forgive me, she said. Forgive me, she said.

The Gambler & the Cowboy Mashup Arrangement and Recording ©R. Dreskin-Evans 2022 INTRO It was a hot summer night on a train bound for nowhere. I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep. We took turns staring out the window at the darkness. Boredom overtook us. She began to speak. GAMBLER - Verse 1 She said, "I've made a life out of reading people's faces, and knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces. For a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice." COWBOY - Verse 1 Gotta pack up your game, and head out west Where women come equipped with scripts and fake breasts Find a nest in the hills, chill like Flynt. Buy an old drop-top, find a spot to pimp. Kid rock-it up and down the block With a bottle of scotch and watch lotsa crotch Buy a yacht with a flag sayin' "chillin' the most" Rock that bitch up and down the coast GAMBLER – Verse 2 So I - handed her my bottle and she drank down my last swallow. Then she bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light. And the night got deathly quiet. Her face lost all expression. Said, if you're gonna play the game, you gotta learn to play it right. GAMBLER - Chorus 1 You got to know when to hold, know when to fold, know when to walk away. Know when to run. You never count your money when you’re sittin' at the table. There's time enough to count when the deal is done. KID ROCK - Babitawa And this is for the questions that don't have any answers The midnight glances, the topless dancers, the gander freaks, cars packed with speakers The g's with the forties, and the chicks with beepers The northern lights, the southern comfort It don't even matter if your veins are punctured All the crackheads, the critics, the cynics All my heroes at the methadone clinics All you bastards at the i.r.s. For the crooked cops and the crowded desks For the shots of jack and the caps of meth Half pints of love and the fifths of stress For the hookers all tricking in Hollywood For my hoods of the world misunderstood It's all good. It's all in fun. Now get in the pit and try to love someone. GAMBLER - Chorus 2 (Babidawa backups) You got to know when to hold, know when to fold, know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money sittin' at the table. There's time enough to count it when the deal is done. GAMBLER – Verse 3 Every gambler knows that the secret to survival is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep. 'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser, and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep. And when she finished speaking, she turned back to the window, crushed out that cigarette and faded off to sleep. And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, she broke even, And in her final words I found an ace that I could keep. GAMBLER - Chorus 3 You got to know when to hold <echo>got to know when to hold know when to fold <echo>know when to fold know when to walk away and know when to run. <echo>know - when to walk away and - know when to run You never count your money while you’re sittin' at the table. There's time enough to count it when the deal is done. COWBOY - Chorus (x2) .. if you want to be a Cowboy, baby ..with the top let back and the sunshine shining (Cowboy, Baby) spend all my time at Hollywood and Vine (Cowboy, Baby) riding at night 'cause I sleep all day (Cowboy, Baby) I can smell a pig from a mile away … with the top lid back and the sunshine shining … with the top lid back and the sunshine shining spend all my time at Hollywood and Vine … with the top lid back and the sunshine shining riding at night 'cause I sleep all day … with the top lid back and the sunshine shining I can smell a pig from a mile away END Gambler/Overlap Cowboy … with the top lid back and the sunshine shining … <Overlap> And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, she broke even, And in her final words I found an ace that I could keep. <Overlap> with the top let back and the sunshine shining

Wasn't hurting anyone, and we all enjoyed the weekend for a change VERSE 2 I've been stranded in the combat zone. I walked through Bedford Stuy alone. Even rode my motorcycle in the rain.

Turn out the light. Don't try to save me. You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right. VERSE 3 Remember how I found you there, alone in your electric chair? I told you dirty jokes until you smiled. You were lonely for a man. I said "Take me as I am, You might enjoy some madness for a while.” Now think of all the years you tried to Find someone to satisfy you. I might be as crazy as you say. If I'm crazy then it's true, that it's all because of you, And you wouldn't want me any other way CHORUS You may be right. I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.
