Am I Or Aren't I?

Yeah I'm a gambler
But I don't play cards
Solitaire I've done
Poker's not my game
Sure I know the rules
Pontoon, 21
Fun of Snap as kids
Never played Rummy
No Bridge nights for me
Been to casinos
They gave me no thrill
Hookers and has-beens
Young punks getting drunk
The glamour and lights
All too bright for me
You see I'm different
Like breaking those rules
Though no cheating swine
I break them knowing
As I cross the lines
I'll get what's coming
Play hard 'til the end
Jokers always wild
Pack shuffled and split
Play no victim cards
Minority blues
Excuses thrown out
Don't blame my parents
Win, lose and play on
But I'm no gambler
All my gold is gone
