Rolling into town, I gotta pocket full of green
I'm gonna be a self-made man
I hustle up a game with some local loose scratch
But Lady Luck won't give me hand

I go down, down in the first round
I go down, down in the first round
I dig myself a hle I find it hard to breath
I gotta make it back some how

But everybody knows every dog has its day
and now I'm lower than low
I go down, down in the first round
I go down, down in the first round

Last smoke last dime
Don't brother me it happens all the time
Las smoke last dime
I'm losing now but there's gonna be a next time
Last smoke last dime
Going out in style but I'm feeling fine
Last smoke last dime
Whole lot of nuthin' but it's mine all mine

Find it hard to cheat but I know when I've been beat
I got my own set of dice
Rolln' and a 'tumblin' and start to feel something
A snake looking me in the eyes

I go down, down in the first round
I go down, in the first round

Last smoke last dime
Don't brother me it happens all the time
Las smoke last dime
I'm losing now but there's gonna be a next time
Last smoke last dime
Going out in style but I'm feeling fine
Last smoke last dime
Whole lot of nuthin' but it's mine all mine
