Guess I've always been a gambler Lived my life from day to day Drunken night owl, midnight rambler I don't care, won't change my way It's survival in the city With your back against the wall Life's so hard but seems so pretty When you hear that night voice call Down by the neon lights Meet me in the corner bar Down by the neon lights Step inside my brand new car Down by the neon lights Hot legged girls and shady guys Down by the neon lights The face of night's so bright but full of lies Break the rules of law and order Be an outlaw for one night But take care of this small border Behind there's violence and crime Like a fool you'll spend your money Discos, bars and gamblin' halls
