I hear everybody talkin about the way luck moves around
table to table, and all around this town
I hear the whispers, see the signs, they promise me real gold
I know tonight will be the one, I really need to know
so turn the cards, I’ll strike the motherlode…  

look who’s dancin’ round the tables in this room
she hasn’t found me yet, but I know she’s comin’ soon
Dancin’ with Lady Luck tonight, I’ll be
Dancin with Lady Luck tonight

I told myself I’d pull up stakes, if the torment gets to me
I’d clear my markers, close my bank I’d keep my dignity
when this hand is done I’ll cash my chips, make my restitution
with a dollar in my pocket, I’ll find my redemption
I’ll be gone, walkin out the door… 

look who’s dancin’ round the tables in this room
she hasn’t found me yet, but I know she’s comin’ soon
Dancin’ with Lady Luck tonight, I’ll be
Dancin with Lady Luck tonight

these dreams of gold have poisoned all my reason
I’d  be safer on the streets, than here holding aces

but look who’s dancin’ round the tables in this room
she hasn’t found me yet, but I know she’s comin’ soon
Dancin’ with Lady Luck tonight, I’ll be
Dancin with Lady Luck tonight
Dancin with Lady Luck tonight
