Spots On the Dice

Can't you hear that lonesome whistle Blowin' across the Great Divide? I would have been home with my baby But for a gambler's foolish pride. Don't you never double down on the dealer When you don't have that ace in the hole. All your plans and schemes Are just spots on the dice as they roll. I had my walk in the sun, then it got a little shady But I never let my deal go down. As long as luck was a lady I was standing on solid ground. You might be hell-bent for heaven, But if you can't roll a seven Them bones ain't gonna save your soul. All your hopes and dreams Are just spots on the dice as they roll. For such a long time I would overrule this heart of mine It's such a lonely road, and that road's still winding But I know how to walk the line. So if you're lucky enough to have a good woman's love To hold you when you're out of control, All your sweet temptations are just spots on the dice, All your good vibrations are just spots on the dice, Your great expectations are just spots on the dice as they roll. ©2017 Compass Rose Music, BMI
