Loves A Gamble Lyrics

Down in Cottonwood Creek where the crickets chirp all night

Got a jukebox playin low bathed in neon light

Met her at the Dairy Queen cherry cola in her hand

Said This ain't Vegas baby but love's a gamble in this land

Yeah love's a gamble in a small town roll the dice and take a chance

Might win the jackpot honey or just end up in a trance

Heartbreak Highway's always open heartbreak hotel's close by

But I'm holdin onto you darlin til the day I die

Her daddy drives a pickup got a shotgun on the rack

Doesn't think I'm good enough says I'm a low-down, no-good hack

But she squeezes my hand tighter when he gives me that ol stare

Says Don't you worry bout him honey I don't care

Yeah love's a gamble in a small town roll the dice and take a chance

Might win the jackpot honey or just end up in a trance

Heartbreak Highway's always open heartbreak hotel's close by

But I'm holdin onto you darlin til the day I die

We eloped down to Reno got hitched by Elvis' twin

Came back to Cottonwood Creek with a mischievous grin

Now we're livin in a trailer with a dog named Lucky Lou

And tryin to beat the odds me and you

Yeah love's a gamble in a small town roll the dice and take a chance

Might win the jackpot honey or just end up in a trance

Heartbreak Highway's always open heartbreak hotel's close by

But I'm holdin onto you darlin 'til the day I die

Yeah love's a gamble a gamble for sure

But I'm bettin everything on you forevermore
