Gonna leave today for a holiday Gonna get that train, just go to spain My life's been up & down, i wanna fool around Been paying my bills & now i want some thrills Yeah, i love to sin but i hate the sinners I love to play but i hate to pay It's been that way long before today Won't you please understand, i'm just a gambling man Just a gambling man Yeah i might die tomorrow I might die today So i picked up my stuff I made my getaway I will have no sorrows I will feel no pain All the foolishness i've done Was not done in vain Always aimed for the long run A pair of dukes was all i had So i beg you to understand I was just playing my hand No i won't go to heaven And i won't go straight to hell I'm just another man under a woman's spell Just another man, just another man Just another man under a woman's spell So i beg you to understand I beg you to understand I beg you to understand I'm just a gambling man Just a gambling man
