You showed up just as quick as you left
With a bag in your hand and a pack of cigarettes
I wasn’t looking for love, I wasn’t looking for you
Your soles were battered, beaten broken up too
Now you’re seeing seven wonders while I wonder about you
Did you make it safely? Did you get new shoes?

You said we would share the moon

I always knew you were a gamble
A homeless heart that you called free
I play my cards you judge the angles
Another game of wait and see

Now to coin you a bandit you take more than you give
Or to coin me abandoned learning love’s elusive
Hearts don’t suit you, you’re the jack of spades
You never had money God knows how you got by
You shuffle the cards, they come up four of a kind
Well baby I’m waiting, on an inside straight

You’re right, our moons are still the same
But when the sun comes up, and the chips are down, that’s a losing game

I always knew you were a gamble
A homeless heart that you called free
I didn’t know what I could handle
So I let myself believe

That I could hold you down
But you dreamt beyond my town
So may love abound
Where the wind might take you
Pack a light load
But take my heart where you go
Lord knows I should’ve known
This is love with a rolling stone

I always knew you were a gamble
A homeless heart that you called free
I play my cards you judge the angles
It was foolish to believe

That I could hold you down
But you dreamt beyond my town
So may love abound
Where the wind might take you
Pack a light load
But take my heart where you go
Lord knows I should’ve known
This is love with a rolling stone
