Honey, got no money, He's obviously losing.
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines. I believe he is talking about BlackJack here, you want the high cards and typically you lose with lower numbers.
Oh, my, my, my, I'm the lone crap shooter,
Playin' the field every night. I know this is CRAPS, and if you bet the field, its a sucker bet and you typically lose.
Don't you know you know the duece is still wild. This has got to be Poker, dueces are 2's and they can be wild.
Baby, I can't stay, you got to roll me Back to the Craps table again!

ROCK IN A HARD PLACE
We're in the same boat
On the same sea
And we're sailing south
On the same breeze
Guiding dream churches
With silver spires
And our rogue children
Are playing loaded dice Loaded dice are dice that are 'fixed' to land a certain way, its a comment on religion and social norms that assume all of us should be of the same mindset as older generations. But the younger generation is going rogue, not holding to the same values as thier parents. Deep shit!

STEALING MY HEART
My cards are on the table, you can look up my sleeves
You say you're honest but love is for thieves This is comparing his heart to a card game, there are no hidden tricks but love is for thieves ia an interesting comment ~ do you have to steal someone elses heart, or should it be given? If you have to steal it, it aint worth taking!
HANG FIRE
Take a thousand dollars go have some fun
Put it all on at a hundred to one
Hang fire, hang fire, put it on the wire I've always thought this line was about horse racing, sometimes the odds can be 100-1 or 99-1 but its a crazy bet!
