Stateline, Nevada - Country Joe & The Fish

I told my lover before I left that I would stay away

From neon lights and the big casinos where there is no night or day

But the rich man’s playground is the poor man’s dream

And I was dreamin', I guess

Thinking I could find some kind of shortcut, an easy road to success

They say there are no winners who don’t gamble, if you do, the chances are

you’ll lose

I’m going back to Frisco from Stateline, Nevada

I’ve got the gambler’s blues

Spent way too much of my hard-earned money to feel good about playin' the game

But the thing that has me worried so bad is I’ll probably do it again

They say there are no winners who don’t gamble, if you do the chances are

you’ll lose

I’m going back to Frisco from Stateline, Nevada

I’ve got the gambler’s blues

They say there are no winners who don’t gamble, if you do the chances are

you’ll lose

I’m going back to Frisco from Stateline, Nevada

I’ve got the gambler’s blues
