We Shared A Home, On A Street Named Rome.
Once We Were So Complete, Solid As Concrete.
I Remember When We First Met, That Feeling Inside Me I’ll Never Forget,
Now Replaced With Regret,
If Only I Never Placed A Bet.
While She Was Selling Stainless Steel,
I Was At The Roulette Wheel.
My Gambling Became An Obsession,
Soon It Turned Into Depression.
Fearing Her Life Was Going To Be This Way,
Till She Was Old And Grey,
She Told Me She Gave Me All She Could,
Thinking I Understood.
Putting Aside Her Wedding Vow, Her Love For Me She No Longer Would Allow.

Now Out Of Work, I Couldn’t
Even Find A Job As A Clerk.
After Losing Her Trust, It Was Hard To Adjust.
Once I Lost Her Respect, Our Marriage
Would Soon Be Wrecked.
Looking At The Balance Sheet,
She Saw A Dead End Street,
Taking A Window Seat, After Boarding A Plane,
She Found Herself In The Fast Lane.
