In the mornin' you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water
And you fire till he is done in

But they catch you at the border
And the mourners are all singin'
As they drag you by your feet

But the hangman isn't hangin'
And they put you on the street


You go back, Jack, do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
You go back, Jack, do it again


When you know she's no high climber
Then you find your only friend

In a room with your two-timer
And you're sure you're near the end
Then you love a little wild one

And she brings you only sorrow
All the time you know she's smilin'
You'll be on your knees tomorrow


You go back, Jack, do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round

You go back, Jack, do it again

(Instrumental)


Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man

Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money

So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table


You go back, Jack, do it again
Wheel turnin' 'round and 'round

You go back, Jack, do it again
