Lyrics
Nothing To Lose Steve Domer - 1995 Well I've never been a gambler I've never trusted fate I can't win, I can't lose 'Cause I play my hand too straight I'll lay my ante on the table And it's deuces wild we'll play With a little luck, you'll take the bluff And then I'll make you mine today But I don't have nothing to lose So lay it on the line I'm breaking all the rules 'Cause I don't have nothing, I don't have nothing to lose So don't expect no higher roller Smooth, suave, and swank With diamond rings and limousines And lot's of money in the bank So I'm betting on your number I'll just wait and roll the dice And if the odds aren't stacked against me I've got to win once or twice Well I don't have nothing to lose So lay it on the line I'm breaking all the rules 'Cause I don't have nothing, don't have nothing to lose Well love's a risky business So I've got to play to win I can't advance unless I take a chance So I got to let the wheel spin Now I'm betting on your number Just let the wheel roll Odds or evens, black or red Any old way it goes 'Cause I don't have nothing to lose So lay it on the line I'm breaking all the rules 'Cause I don't have nothing , I don't have nothing to lose Yeah I don't have nothing I don't have nothing to lose Don't have nothing, I don't have nothing to lose repeat to fade

Very cool song, Steve! A Vince Gill flavor.
