WIN



Some lucky person is going to win the big prize,
You can see the adrenaline flowing in their eyes.
   
   Which is it you a loser or a winner,
want to be saved or remain a sinner.

   You could win a free vacation to somewhere,
no one speaks English but you don't care.

   You’re a winner and your caught up in the flow,
that's why millions watch a TV game show.

   You go to casino and spend money you can't afford to lose,
broke again until pay day now you got the blues.

   Caught up in the rush of I'm going to win,
really, it's over before you begin.

   It only takes the first time you won,
now you belong to the house of the rising sun.

   Be cautious when you hear someone say,
You’re our lucky winner of the day.
