[00:00:00] Whoever Said Gambling's For Suckers - Cameron Avery

[00:00:00] Written by：Cameron Avery

[00:00:35] It was a Sunday a normal day at the track

[00:00:41] I'd hedged my bets and cashed my checks for the week

[00:00:46] I mean the track was wet so the dogs were running slow

[00:00:49] Plus the cold air made the starting gates jam

[00:00:53] But I did alright

[00:00:55] Other than that a normal day at the track

[00:01:02] Everyone had left except for one of the trainers

[00:01:05] Who'd lost nearly everything on his last dog

[00:01:07] So he was drinking like a priest at the rapture

[00:01:17] Stacy was working

[00:01:20] She had just broken up with her boyfriend

[00:01:22] Who'd skipped town with her car and her life's savings that morning

[00:01:25] So she was on edge

[00:01:28] It took nothing more than for me to ask her how she was doing

[00:01:31] And she flipped

[00:01:34] That was it

[00:01:40] She reached under the bar back and pulled out a big shiny 44

[00:01:44] And pointed it straight at my head

[00:01:48] The startled and broken dog trainer to my left

[00:01:52] Welled up and then threw up all over my shoes

[00:01:55] And I just got those cleaned as well

[00:02:00] Stacy told me to give her my car my day's take

[00:02:04] Or she'd spray the back wall with my cerebellum

[00:02:11] At first I was rocked shocked and taken back

[00:02:16] By her half-cocked locked and stocked 44

[00:02:19] But then the strangest thing happened

[00:02:23] That look in her eye no fear no compromise

[00:02:28] Sent me on a spin I could've taken her right there and then

[00:02:35] She had me sweating that was for sure

[00:02:36] But not from fear from lust

[00:02:45] I trusted her volition was in no condition to drive

[00:02:48] So I said

[00:02:49] Hold me hostage put the gun against my head

[00:02:53] Hold me hostage honey you heard what I said

[00:03:00] At this point Dale the dog trainer had passed out

[00:03:03] From either too much sorrow-drowning and whiskey-pounding

[00:03:07] Or just fainted out of fear which I didn't understand

[00:03:12] The man had nothing left

[00:03:15] A perfect night to feel the hand of death

[00:03:18] And what a way to go all it would've taken was some barroom heroics

[00:03:22] And Stacy would've wasted him

[00:03:26] So now it was me and her and I couldn't break her gaze

[00:03:31] Me and her dreaming of all the ways we could spend our days

[00:03:38] Still confusion stood heavy on her complexion

[00:03:44] So I said again

[00:03:46] Hold me hostage put the gun against my head

[00:03:50] Hold me hostage honey you heard what I said

[00:03:58] Still looking impatient and confused

[00:04:01] I decided I would explain my arousal

[00:04:04] And state my proposal

[00:04:06] That she and I with love in eyes and trust

[00:04:13] Be thrust into blood-lust together

[00:04:16] Forever and ever until vengeance do we part

[00:04:24] And I said again

[00:04:25] Hold me hostage put the gun against my head

[00:04:29] Hold me hostage honey you heard what I said

[00:04:37] Then I said

[00:04:37] Take me with you take me whilst you can

[00:04:41] Take me with you honey I'll hunt down your man

[00:04:52] After still questioning the persistence in my assistance

[00:04:55] I lied and said that as a bookie I was used to this bounty-hunting kind of thing

[00:05:02] And that we could find him kill him

[00:05:07] Retrieve her life's savings and the beat-up old Pontiac

[00:05:11] And be back before the track open again on Wednesday

[00:05:14] I said as payment for my act of chivalry hired mercenary

[00:05:20] Would be that she fed me bathed me and made love to me

[00:05:24] With the same bold conviction as she felt for her burgeoning retribution

[00:05:31] As I looked deeper into her eyes I thought was she really gonna take me

[00:05:36] To have and to hold hostage

[00:05:41] In sickness and in health

[00:05:44] And in bullet-riddled wealth

[00:05:51] So I said

[00:05:52] Take me with you take me whilst you can

[00:05:56] Take me with you honey I'll hunt down your man

[00:06:04] And then it happened

[00:06:08] She slowly walked along the bar back

[00:06:12] Knocking each bottle of cheap

[00:06:13] Swill off the shelf with each swing of her hips

[00:06:19] As she rounded the service alley

[00:06:23] She unclasped her bra threw it on the bar

[00:06:27] Straddled me on my stool said

[00:06:29] You crazy fool

[00:06:31] And kissed me

[00:06:33] Long and slow

[00:06:39] Gun around my neck and neckline full of sweat

[00:06:44] She took me right there and then on the floor

[00:06:46] Next to poor old Pale Dale

[00:06:49] She said

[00:06:51] I'll take you with me take you while I can

[00:06:55] I'll take you with me honey you can be my man

[00:06:59] So we took off drove around for a couple of weeks

[00:07:02] Making whoopee the whole way long

[00:07:05] Found her man empty pockets

[00:07:10] We left him lying in a pool of his own urine

[00:07:15] Couldn't kill him

[00:07:17] No fun shooting a coward anyhow

[00:07:22] So we took the Pontiac and opened a bar back in Savannah

[00:07:26] She pours the shots and I run the slots

[00:07:30] Been married seven years

[00:07:34] Living off quarters and beers

[00:07:38] She still brings the gun to bed every now and then

[00:07:42] Gets her kissin' through my submission

[00:07:48] So there it is

[00:07:50] The last and best bet I ever made

[00:07:58] Whoever said gambling's for suckers
