Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like an old bent coin
Comin' on down the road
I'm just a face in the crowd, stuck in the cheap seats
Waitin' for lady luck to show
Dealer! dealer! deal me a hand
Not like the one you just threw
I'm goin' down to my last dollar tonight
And if you make me a winner, I'll split it with you
I'll split it with you
And I'm torn like a sail on a ship
Caught in low tide
And I'm waitin' for a card that'll tell me
Let it ride
Let it ride
Let it ride
