I rambled around like a ne'er-do-well
I didn't take it seriously
And as it turns out I got lucky
Kind of lucky mysteriously
I wound up winning a jackpot
Got me a mega manse
I gambled it away one long weekend
And now all I got are my pants
Yeah, I had it all, I had it all
I had fame, I had wealth
But then I went and I blew it
And I got no one to blame but myself
Yeah, I had it all, I had it all
I had trophies on my shelf
But then I went and I lost it
And I got no one to blame but myself
I was a three-time loser
More like four or five
Every time I got a grace note
I'd try see what I could connive
I married me a pretty lady
And I took her for what she had
I know it wasn't too nice of me
Yeah, I know that I'm downright bad
I got my comeuppance
Yeah, it was more like a big comedown
And know it made some folks happy
I saw no one frown
But you know I got the last laugh
Because I don't need nothing, nothing at all
I've got all I want in my pockets
And I roll 'round like a roulette ball
