Thunder - Rolling The Dice lyrics

Sitting on the tarmac getting ready to roll Didn't sleep a wink the whole night before Wondering how they get this chunck of metal in the sky And all I wanna do is pull my shade down and die I get tired sometimes when it's that kind of game I've made my bed and I'm lying in it every day It could be worse, I know it could But I can't tell you it's bad when it's good So I say Rolling the dice, it's the price I pay Sometimes wish I'd never learned to play that guitar 'Til I turn around and see the size of my car 'Cos if the truth be known I'm not a hit with the girls And it's murder living up to all the stories they've heard Just an ordinary guy, with a strange old job Getting paid to behave, like a juvenille slob, yes I am No body takes me seriously Guess that's the way it was meant to be Like I said For rolling the dice, it's the price I pay It's the prize I pay, uh yeah Never used to worry what the future would bring But how long can I really keep on doing my thing? I'll be like an addict trying to quit his stuff, yes I will But it's sad but it's true, it's a labour of love Guess I'll have to retire to the south of Spain Teeing off with the wife I forget about the rain So when it's slipping away from me I'll rather be a slave to eternity Like I said For rolling the dice, it's the price I pay, yes it is For rolling the dice, that's the price I pay It's the price I pay, uh
