Set Em Up - John Landry

I rolled dice with the Devil

Played him for a fool last night

And Lady Luck woke up beside me

But she can only stay a while

And my conscience is tellin' me «boy,

better get out while you can»

Cash in your chips, trade 'em in

And don’t play another hand

Well I’ve gambled on the river

A time or two it’s left me dry

And I’ve left many a woman

With a teardrop in her eye

And I know I have it comin'

But before I lay this body down

I’ll settle up with the Devil

And we’ll play another round

I laid it all down in Atlanta

Been double-crossed in New Orleans

I rode the ponies in Kentucky

The roughest ride they’ve ever seen

Stared down the snake-eyes of Sin City

A long-legged railbird at my side

And when I’m down to my last dime

Set 'em up and let it ride

Set 'em up boy

I doubled down in Monte Carlo

Left me shaken but not stirred

I bet the limit down in Reno

Lord when will I ever learn

I got busted down on Fifth Street

With nobody at my side

When you’re down to your last dime

Set 'em up and let it ride

Yes when I’m down to my last dime

Set 'em up and let it ride

Set 'em up and I let it ride, ride, ride

Set 'em up and I’ll let it ride
