AC/DC--The Jack (the cleaned up radio version was about poker, the album version was about a prostitute with the clap).

[The Judge]

Still the Same - Bob Seger

You always won everytime you placed a bet
You're still damn good
No one's gotten to you yet
Everytime they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You'd just turn your back and walk

You always said
The cards would never do you wrong
The trick you said
Was never play the game too long
A gambler's share
The only risk that you would take
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldn't fake

And you're still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by
You're still the same
You still aim high

There you stood
Everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say
'Cause you're still the same
You're still the same
Moving game to game
Some things never change
You're still the same

Nice

I like the tune but always found the storyline abit depressing, same with Motorhead ace of spades.....the others mentioned so far more positive and more my style.

Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on, uh come on, give a listen
Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels and throw dice
I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around
I had to roam, ain't good lookin'
But you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look you girl, hey in the eye
So if you need some lovin' and you need it right away
Take a little time out and maybe I'll stay

But I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
Gamble (Gamblin' man)
Got to, got to ramble (ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin', gamblin' man

Yeah, uhh, say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hah, hah
A bring it on, come on now
Yeah, alright, here we go now

Now, I'm out of money, 'cause you know I need some
Ain't gonna run on lovin' and I must run
Got to keep movin', never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, see you 'round
Cause I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Lord I'm a ramblin', gamblin' man

Oh! I'm just a rambler
Yeah! and I'm just a gambler
Come on and sing along
'Cause I'm just a rambler (ramblin' man)
Lord I'm a gambler (gamblin' man)
I'm a rambler
