Patty Loveless Lyrics
"I Won't Gamble With Your Love"

(Kevin Welch - Gary Scruggs)

I've taken a lot of chances
I've drawn to a lot of bad cards
There was nothing I minded losing
So I never took losing too hard.

Well, since I won your love
I guess I've changed my ways
There's a lot of games in this old town
But there's one I no longer play.

I won't gamble with your love
I don't care to risk that much
One thing you can be sure of
I won't gamble with your love.

How many times did I play for sevens
When I gave those dice a roll
I know all of my prayers were answered sometimes
Yes, but a lot of times no.

Now I know all I was after
Could be mine forever more
There are no other pleasures
I would trade my treasures for.

I won't gamble with your love
I don't care to risk that much
One thing you can be sure of
I won't gamble with your love.

These boys they come around baby
Take a chance on me I say no they say why not
Tell 'em I'm pretty happy with what I got
Anything else would be another long shot.

I won't gamble with your love
I don't care to risk that much
One thing you can be sure of
I won't gamble with your love.

I won't gamble with your love...
