A very true story.
- SR

Lyrics:
I found myself in Vegas,
Faced down in cocaine,
I had possessions,
Then I gambled them all away.
Away.

I've played with aces,
I've been the jack of spades,
I had a queen one time, 
Then I gambled her heart away.
All away.
All away.
All away.
I gambled her heart away.
All away.
All away.
All away.

Win or lose, the chips still fall,
Win or lose, the dice still roll.
Win or lose, the chips still fall,
Win or lose, the dice still roll.

I gamble myself away.
I gamble myself away.
I gamble myself away.
I GAMBLE MYSELF AWAY.

Wendy Clark is the band leader of The Wendy Clark Band and was the founder of Denver-based original rock band Tequila Mockingbird. Active on the Front Range music circuit and indie scene since 1996, Wendy is a writer, composer, guitarist, bandleader, recording artist, manager, and promoter. Her music is classified as Americana rock, and plays to non-specific genre consistently, the execution of each song - although the melody and playful lyrics combined with Clark's serving of infectious melody and sarcastic and thoughtful philosophical meanderings and with a twinge of nostalgia, that are catchy, powerful, and kept fresh by delving into multiple genres.
