"Walk On Hot Coals (Live)" lyrics

Well, I lost my shirt in a card game and I never had a chance
Well, I lost my shirt in a card game and I never had a chance
Well, the deck was marked, the game was rigged
You could tell it at a glance

Well, I lost my job on the weekend and I was back out on the street
I lost my job on the weekend and I was back out on the street
No way to get a dollar
And I spent it on the roulette wheel

Walk on hot coals, sleep on a bed of nails
Walk on thin ice, skate on razor blades
My little girl beside me no matter what fails

All down at the race track and my horse led the field
And I was down at the race track and my horse led the field
It was a hoax and the mare was doped
And she fell upon her knees

And I threw away my lucky penny, rabbit's foot, and a gypsy ring
I threw away my lucky penny, rabbit's foot, and a gypsy ring
And I could gamble on my baby
In a losing streak, I might not win

Walk on hot coals, sleep on a bed of nails
Walk on thin ice, skate on razor blades
My little girl beside me no matter what fails
