Dice Game Lyrics

All I recall are the shadows in a long New York fade away
Passin' time with such matters on a six-hour drive to LA
Got some friends in the canyon
Got a dirty window pane
Got a girl back up in Ida
Things have never been the same

She sees no fences
She feels no reins

I rolled a couple just to get me there
Took a hit
Let in some air and thought of you
We made a promise by the eyelash moon
I told you I would be home soon
And I aim to please

Stop to grab a cup of coffee
Near the LA county line
This evening finds me lonely
But by daybreak, I’ll be fine
It comes and it goes
Always knows I’m there

Sometimes, a scoundrel
Sometimes, a thief
Sometimes, in public
Sometimes, discreet
Sometimes ugly
Sometimes, there’s no reason why
And sometimes, it’s a look in your eye
That says, "I aim to please"

Not everybody’s lucky
You know that’s true
But not everybody rolls a dice like you
Listen to a loser and you might give in
Listen to a lonely and you got no friends
Listen to a lover if you want some truth
Listen to a mother if you want some blues
Listen to your heart if you lose your way
Try to make some sunshine every day
Try to make some sunshine every day
