Jackpot Lyrics & Chords By I See Hawks In L.a.

I’m hot from the road
I’m hot from the highway
this time things’ll go my way
Three shows in Idaho got money to burn
Cash in my pocket, I’ll never learn
My old lady’s got to pay the rent
I got $700 and 57 cents
We got 36 hours to get to Grand Junction
The St. Regis Hotel for a 6 night function
Looks like we gotta slice a corner off Nevada
Hit the tables, think we oughta
I was wrong, I was wrong
And I did go back to Jackpot again
I was wrong, I was wrong
I did go back to Jackpot again
Now I’m sitting in the back of a Chevy van
Things didn’t go like I planned
Talking to my lady on a busted cell phone
There’s nothing in the fridge but a lonely ham bone
Had a crazy conversation with lady luck
Before the boys pulled me back in the truck
Was $1200 up, now I’m sitting $800 down
I owe a hundred to the drummer that’ll never be found
I work hard at night though I sleep all day
Country music just don’t pay
6 sets a night no meals no nothing
If I rob a bank I’ll come home with something
I was wrong, I was wrong
And I did go back to Jackpot again
I was wrong, I was wrong
I did go back to Jackpot again
Breakdown, breakdown,
breakdown on a desert highway
Breakdown, in Provo town
my band’s going their way and I’m going my way
I’m gonna climb the red mountain
wade the alkali sea
till the far away lights are shinning down on me
I’m gonna lay my last $20 on the 30 and 10
do a mind bend while they give the croupier a spin
I’m gonna take my little stake to the black jack line
double down on Sevens blow the dealer’s mind
and you can hit me, hit me, hit me again
because I thought I was a looser but I’m build up the chips
And I was wrong, I wrong
I did go back to Jackpot, Jackpot
And I was wrong, I wrong
I did go back to Jackpot, Jackpot
