Gas Station Gamblin' Lyrics

Down at the corner where the highway bends

There's a little gas station where the night never ends

The store lights flicker and the diesel pumps hum

But inside the action is where the gamblers come

In the back by the coolers and the cheap cigars

There's a row of old slot machines shining like stars

And this ain't Vegas no fancy dealin' hands

Just a wink from the clerk and you're part of the plan

Gas station gamblin' spinning those wheels

Ain't no one talkin' but everybody deals

Illegal payouts in a dusty back room

Ain't nobody worried 'bout the judge with his gavel's tune

They keep it rollin' on a wink and a prayer

Gas station gamblin' 'cause no one really cares

The sheriff drives by with a nod and a grin

He knows what's goin' down but never walks in

A few bills change hands and the game goes on

It's a southern secret like a well-played song

There ain't no cameras no flashy signs

Just a game in the shadows and everyone's fine

The folks with the money they all know the score

They're runnin' the show and keeping it off the floor

Gas station gamblin' spinning those wheels

Ain't no one talkin' but everybody deals

Illegal payouts in a dusty back room

Ain't nobody worried 'bout the judge with his gavel's tune

They keep it rollin' on a wink and a prayer

Gas station gamblin' 'cause no one really cares

Why's it permitted? Why's it allowed?

A little small-town secret covered in a shroud

Some call it tradition some call it crime

But nobody's changing what's been working fine!

Old men with their pennies young ones with their dreams

Every pull of the handle another spin on the schemes

The law might say one thing but it don't mean a damn

When you're bettin' on luck in this southern land

The law's just a word till it touches your hand

And here in these parts we don't follow no plan!

Gas station gamblin' spinning those wheels

Ain't no one talkin' but everybody deals

Illegal payouts in a dusty back room

Ain't nobody worried 'bout the judge with his gavel's tune

They keep it rollin' on a wink and a prayer

Gas station gamblin' 'cause no one really cares

In a world where the lines between right and wrong blur

Gas station gamblin' is the law of the land for sure

Where secrets are whispers and justice is blind

It's gas station gamblin' and hell no one minds!
