Love Poem: Still the Same

Still the Same

lucky at the casino, lucky with the draw
the slot kicks out the ticket printed with it all
I look at my winnings, it not close to being last call
but I knew your were one gamble that never would pay off

moving around from game to game looking for the next hit
bells are going off all around inviting me to sit
others look over my shoulder close enough to spit
watching me and how I play this game that's not legit

it is like what Seger says when he sings I'm still the same
and for just a little while I'm caught up in the game
there's an eight hundred number for standing too close to the flame
it's knowing what to hold on to and when to walk away

always lucky with the cards but not so much with love
you just can't beat the excitement of the queen of hearts
I could read you like my hand right from the very start
always knew your were one gamble that never would pay off
