Lyrics
[verse]
He walks into the same old room again
Same green felt table, same old cast of men
He swore last winter that he'd learned his lesson well
But habit's got a hold that's hard to tell
[chorus]
So he does it again, does it again
Rolls the dice on a losing bet, does it again
Every time he says he's done, the door swings wide
And he walks right back inside
[verse]
There's a woman at the counter who knows his name
Knows the story, knows he'll play the game
She hands him a reason to steady out his hand
He tells himself this time he'll understand
[chorus]
But he does it again, does it again
Rolls the dice on a losing bet, does it again
Every time he says he's done, the door swings wide
And he walks right back inside
[bridge]
Round and round the wheel is spinning slow
Some men learn, and some men never know
He's not counting up the times he's lost
He's just counting up the cost
[chorus]
So he does it again, does it again
Rolls the dice on a losing bet, does it again
Every time he says he's done, the door swings wide
And he walks right back inside
