Backroom Boys

The backroom boys are playin real hard
Theres a lot of money rollin on the next card
Some are goin up some are goin down
Somell never make it to the next round
Stone me it dont come free
You gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
They got--a room full of women
A table full of booze
Gettin meaner with the dealer--cause he cant lose
Someone shouts out, its a goddamn shame
The dealers gettin meaner with the cocaine
Gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
Cant stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you wanna be a backroom boy
Backroom boys
Look in your eye, never say die
Backroom boys
Even take your money when they play games
Take you when youre up, kick you when youre down
Youll always be a loser in their town
