Lyrics
CHORUS
Just a PAIR OF DICE, rolling on the floor
Dropped there by a gambler, who couldn't win no more
Ah, just a slave, that wicked old wheel
Try one more time, need that old high feel
1st verse
Shot craps since ten
Got his start on the streets
Cuffed cards for years, at the devil's feet
Times a catching up, closing in
Piper wants a payin for all your sins
2nd verse
Years of women and booze
Running hot and cold
Body's wearing out, minds a getting old
No place to hide, no place to run
Party's over, all the luck is done
CHORUS AGAIN
INSTRUMENTAL
3rd verse
Walked out the parlor doors
For the last time
No starting again, to late in the line
Maybe a little peace, for the PAIR OF DICE
Hope the Lord's got a hustler's paradise
CHORUS AGAIN
ENDING
Just a PAIR OF DICE....................
