There’s no clock in this gambling house
No window on the fading light of day
My better judgment says “Get up, get out” But greed is standing in the way, yeah
My lucky hands, they held the winning cards I felt the ride would never end
Who thought saying no would be so hard When you think a win’s around the bend
So have you got a couple bucks to lend?
Green light, go for the money,
Now I’m running through the red
I’ve had my run on the table,
Now I’m in above my head
I was sittin’ pretty
But now I’m broke instead
I’m telling you I should have
Quit while I was ahead
My next big win is on the credit card
I’ve got to make back everything I lost This ain’t no foolin’ now, I’m playin’ hard I will break even at all costs, yeah
I was the highest roller in the place
I pushed my luck a little bit to far
I’ve got to get myself back in the race
And play the chips on one more lucky star, yeah
So how much would you pay to buy my car?
Green light, go for the money, Now I’m running through the red I’ve had my run on the table, Now I’m in above my head
I was sittin’ pretty
But now I’m broke instead
I’m telling you I should have
Quit while I was ahead
Better quit, better quit while you’re ahead Quit while you’re ahead
Better quit, better quit while you’re ahead Quit while you’re ahead
Better quit, better quit while you’re ahead Quit while you’re ahead
Better quit, better quit
I'm starting to think those free drinks weren't free
