Lletres: Jim Lauderdale. Rollin' The Dice.

Well, I was coolin' my heels down in Flacktown
They was blazin' from a footrace with a hellhound
My heart was up on blocks from my last go-round
When you came roarin' in upon the rebound

You got me rollin' the dice, you got me breakin' 'em twice
You got me jammin' like ol' Billy on the low ground
You got me rollin' the dice, you got me breakin' 'em twice
You got me on the rebound

You're like a midnight doctor on a sick call
You're like a big flash flood upon the river
You're like a Salvador Dali on a brick wall
Where the others only talk you deliver

You got me rollin' the dice, you got me breakin' 'em twice
Ridin' shotgun in a Caddy with the top down
You got me rollin' the dice, you got me breakin' 'em twice
You got me on the rebound

You got me rollin' the dice, you got me breakin' 'em twice
You got me jammin' like ol' Billy on the low ground
You got me rollin' the dice, you got me breakin' 'em twice
You got me on the rebound

You're like an ace high straight with all the chips down
You're like a shot of white lightnin' in a night gown
You're like a wreckin' ball rider on a tear-down
Come a crashin' in my life upon the rebound

You got me rollin' the dice, you got me breakin' 'em twice
You got me jammin' like ol' Billy on the low ground
You got me rollin' the dice, you got me breakin' 'em twice
You got me on the rebound

You got me on the rebound
You got me rollin' right to you on the rebound
