From the recording Nurd Country
Lyrics
Takes a special kind of fool to have and lose it all Always looking for more when the table has plenty Didn’t think my cozy empire was ever gonna fall
I gambled it on the wrong horse
Now my table is empty
But you’ll never keep this boy down The trick is to keep playing
All I need is just one fast pony A second of luck
And a tail wind blowing Behind me once again
All it takes is just one win
All I need is that comeback feeling Casino chips
And a wheel that keeps spinning Until the numbers pay
Even losers have their day And I’m ready for the change Breakaway
Takes a forgiving woman to survive the climbs and falls Playing the angles with love will leave a heart damaged
I guess I pushed her too hard in that Shreveport hotel bar When I told her to enjoy the ride or wait up with the baggage
But I know that she’ll be back The thrill is too contagious
All I need is just one fast pony A second of luck
And a cool wind blowing
To revive me once again
All it takes is just one win
Cause all I need is a taste of momentum One river card
And a steel nerve betting
Bad hands that turn to gold
You’ll never win it if you fold So Mr Dealer, let it roll
When it gets quiet
I can hear the rider say
There’s always a faster pony
that comes to steal your dreams away That might be true
But man, today is not that day
This is my time, I will not wait
So I pray
All I need is just one fast pony A second of luck
And a tail wind blowing Behind me once again
All it takes is just one win
All I need is that comeback feeling Casino chips
And a wheel that keeps spinning Until the numbers pay
Even losers have their day
And I’m ready for the change Yeah, I’m so ready for the change Breakaway
Fortunes change with the throw of the dice It’s all about believing
All I need is just one fast pony All I need is just one fast pony All I need is just one fast pony
