The Last Game in Town

Boy, you’ve been through the ringer
But you’ve still got that look
That trusting, wide-eyed innocence
That you read about in books

And your still at the table
WIth no ace up your sleeve
And, despite the way the deck Is stacked
You try so hard to believe

That little voice keeps telling you
Losers quit and quitters lose
And you still got some wear left in these shoes

You just need one big win to settle down
One true heart that’s still around
If there’s an empty chair, you’ll lay your money down
In the last game in town

You still remember the gold rush
They all thought that they’d get rich
Everyone down on their knees
Digging mud out of a ditch

And they all learned their lesson
Gave up and just went home
Just take a look around now boy
You’re out here all alone

You look at the sky, then fall down on your knees and pray
That you still could find a nugget here someday

You just need one big win to settle down
One true heart that’s still around
If there’s an empty chair, you’ll lay your money down
In the last game in town

It’s like you’re out there on the highway
A million miles from anywhere
If there’s a light on the horizon
You’ll steer your car toward there

You just need one big win to settle down
One true heart that’s still around
If there’s an empty chair, you’ll lay your money down
In the last game in town
