Casino Cowboy
Wagered Dreams: Journey of a Lost Cowboy
Lyrics
I was a cowboy
I used to be a cowboy
But not anymore
I have moved on from that identity
I lost my guns in the war
I lost my weapons in a war
I can't shoot them anymore, no more
I can no longer use my guns
I've got not home
I don't have a permanent home
Just game to game I roam
I wander from one game to another
And I know one day I'll see
I believe that one day I will discover everything the world has for me
All that's out there in this world for me
Anticipation of exploring the world
What's it worth it to you If I make a little bet or two cause
Asking the listener about the value of making bets
Ain't that how it goes, you live and die by how the dice roll
Life is unpredictable, influenced by chance
And I have won and lost it all so many times I fear I'm
Experienced both success and failure many times
Casino Cowboy tonight
Identifying as a "Casino Cowboy" for the night
I've seen my love go by
Observing love fading away
Like a well run dry
Comparing lost love to a depleted well
So many hearts I could not fill
Unable to fill the void in others' hearts
So mine is empty still lost in this thrill
Personal emptiness within the thrill of the moment
No peace I've found
No peace has been found
I'm just ramblin' on round
Continuously wandering without purpose
There's too much blood on my hands
Feeling guilty or stained by past actions
So I'll keep travlin' round this here land
Commitment to keep traveling across the land
What's it worth it to you If I make a little bet or two cause
Reiteration of questioning the value of making bets
Ain't that how it goes, you live and die by how the dice roll
Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of life
And I have won and lost it all so many times I fear I'm
Reflection on past victories and losses
Casino Cowboy tonight
Reaffirming the identity as a "Casino Cowboy" for the night
What's it worth it to you If I make a little bet or two cause
Repeating the question about the value of making bets
Ain't that how it goes, you live and die by how the dice roll
Restating the unpredictable nature of life
And I have won and lost it all so many times I fear I'm
Reiterating past experiences of winning and losing
Casino Cowboy tonight
Final affirmation of being a "Casino Cowboy" for the night
What's it worth it to you If I make a little bet or two cause
Repeating the question about the value of making bets
Ain't that how it goes, you live and die by how the dice roll
Reemphasizing the unpredictable nature of life
And I have won and lost it all so many times I fear I'm
Reiterating past experiences of winning and losing
Casino Cowboy, Casino Cowboy
Final declaration of being a "Casino Cowboy"
Casino Cowboy tonight
Affirming the identity as a "Casino Cowboy" for the night
