Two Dollar Ticket Lyrics

Two dollar ticket in a four fingered hand
God help me I'm a gambling man
I was pretty cocky in my high roller days
I placed a wager that I could not pay
I asked for a week and they gave me five
Before they came collecting one piece at a time
Two dollar ticket in a four fingered hand
God help me I'm a gambling man
Your money or your life it's a pretty easy call
Til I realized I never gamble more at all
I gave up the deed to the family farm
Lost the home where my great great grandma was born
Well it's nine in the morning and I'm sitting on this bench
Gonna do some scratching cause I got that itch
If I only win a free one there ain't no shame
It means this gambler's still in the game
A two dollar ticket in a four fingered hand
Don't seem that bad if you don't understand
Bolt cutters beat the rusty blade of the saw
I hold my lucky penny with a two fingered claw
