Lyrics
Intro
Verse 1
Rolling dice on borrowed time
Whiskey roads and crooked signs
Every hand I play ain’t mine
But I still call the bluff
A shadow walks a step behind
Laughin’ like an old friend might
Tells me boy, don’t waste your fight
Just lean into the luck
Chorus
Oh, the house don’t break, the house don’t bend
The wheel keeps turnin’ till the bitter end
I ain’t got a name, I ain’t got a past
Just a stacked deck and a shot glass
Slide Guitar Solo
Verse2
I hear voices hummin’ low
Songs I know but don’t recall
Like echoes bouncin’ off the walls
Of some old motel room
Cards keep changin’ in my hands
Nothin’ ever stays the same
Guess I shoulda known the game
Was never mine to lose
Chorus
Oh, the house don’t break, the house don’t bend
The wheel keeps turnin’ till the bitter end
I ain’t got a name, I ain’t got a past
Just a stacked deck and a shot glass
Extended Slide Guitar Solo
Breakdown
Bridge
Someone’s got a tell, someone’s got a plan
Someone’s got the strings tight in their hand
And I don’t know which side I’m on
But the bet’s been placed, the deal is drawn
Chorus
Oh, the house don’t break, the house don’t bend
The wheel keeps turnin’ till the bitter end
I ain’t got a name, I ain’t got a past
Just a stacked deck and a shot glass
Outro
Maybe I was always playin’ blind
Maybe it was set before my time
Maybe the man smilin’ back in the glass
Ain’t ever been mine
No, it ain't ever been mine
Ain't ever...
Been...
Mine.
END
