Need To Lose - The Devil Makes Three

Starin' at my cards like they owe me somethin'

Workin' on a ragged hand

I can see the reaper sittin' at the table

And I know that he’s got a plan

Must’ve wanted my heart to break

Turnin' a mirage into a lake

I’m comin' over the mountain and I’m pumping the brakes

Workin' on a full card straight

Everybody’s always askin'

Why do what I do

I don’t gamble 'cause I want to win, boys

I gamble 'cause I need to lose

Got some miles on the engine

No way to roll back the clock

I wouldn’t do it even if I could

I gotta play 'til the music stops

Learned too late, sing the blues

Let the dirt get on these shoes

You want to find the queen, you got some pawns to lose

Darlin' I’d tell you the truth

Everybody’s always askin'

Why do what I do

I don’t gamble 'cause I want to win, boys

I gamble 'cause I need to lose

I need to lose

I need to lose

I need to lose

I need to lose

I gamble 'cause I need to lose

Somebody call the doctor

Something wrong with me

I know there’s something missin'

What it is I just can’t see

It’s down in my chest, dark aches and pains

I know I got a screw loose inside of my brain

And everybody’s always askin'

Why do what I do

I don’t gamble 'cause I want to win, boys

I gamble 'cause I need to lose

Everybody’s always askin'

Why do what I do

I don’t gamble 'cause I want to win, boys

I gamble 'cause I need to lose

I need to lose

I need to lose

I need to lose

I need to lose

I gamble 'cause I need to lose
