Lyrics

JOHNNY SILVER


WRITTEN FROM SOMEWHERE HE DROPPED HER A LINE
JUST WHERE DOESN?T MATTER HE HAD SOMETHING ON HIS MIND
ANOTHER WOMAN?S IN HIS LIFE THE ONE HE NEEDS SO MUCH
HE THOUGHT SHE SHOULD KNOW HE?S BEEN LOVIN? LADY LUCK

HE SAID DARLIN? DON?T CRY JUST TRY TO UNDERSTAND
THERE?S NO WAY ON EARTH TO CHANGE A GAMBLIN? MAN
GOD KNOWS SHE TRIED BUT THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH
BECAUSE HE LET HER DOWN AND TURNED TO LADY LUCK

CHORUS

JOHNNY SILVER IS HIS NAME KING OF THE GAMBLIN? SCENE
HE NEVER CHASES WOMEN HE ONLY CHASES GREEN
A DECK OF CARDS, A ROLL OF DICE, HE?S GOOD AT ANY GAME
HE LOVES LADY LUCK JOHNNY SILVER IS HIS NAME

SHE FOUND JOHNNY SILVER IN A HOUSE OF GAMBLIN? GAMES
SHE THOUGHT HE WOULD SETTLE DOWN AND HOPED THAT HE WOULD CHANGE
JOHNNY WAS A WILD ONE GAMBLIN? WHEN HE CAN
TOO LATE SHE FOUND OUT YOU CAN?T TAME A GAMBLING MAN

ONE NIGHT HE SAID TO THE DEALER DEAL ME A WINNING HAND
I?VE BEEN LOVIN? LADY LUCK AND I?M A LUCKY MAN
THE DEALER STOPPED AND GRINNED AND SAID YOU?D BETTER CALL YOUR WIFE
TELL HER YOUR TREASURE SHIP SANK IN VEGAS HERE TONIGHT

REPEAT CHORUS TWICE repeat fourth line in chorus then fade.
