Left my wife for the queen of hearts
Needed no family but the deck of cards
Watched the gold turn into sand
In a game I didn't understand
She took the house, I sold the car
Needed money for a brand new start
Spent it on a Monte Carlo cruise
Nothing left to lose
Drinking and gambling never playing straight
Hollow as a ghost, shallow as a grave
Wasn't a matter of loss or gain
I was trying to kill the pain
Met a girl with deep blue eyes
She left me for a younger guy
Cut me deep but I felt alive
For the first time in a while
She said I don't care about your empty shell
I don't care about your wishing well
I'm not gonna try to make you understand
You can't play an empty hand
Drinking and gambling what a damn cliché
Hollow as a ghost, shallow as a grave
Of all the things my gambling cost,
I miss love the most
Took a long time before I learned
That luck wouldn't turn
Didn't understand, I only cared
About my castle in the air
I burned the bridge that lead back home
Stranded and branded and all alone
Pick up the phone, answer my plea
I just need some company
Drinking and gambling never played to win
Nothing left to lose no reason left to live
I won't see the day my debts are paid
Tonight i'll fly away
Tonight i'll fly away
Tonight i'll fly away
Tonight i'll fly away
