46th st. (The Gambler) Lyrics by Malm

But When It All Narrows Down

2018

He was a gambler addict coming out of New Orleans
Rolling through the towns dressed in old baggage jeans
Never really caring much for what his life holds
Hardened liquor and smoking cigars wherever he roams
Without a home he kissed the streets goodnight
Hoping for a better time and something worthwhile
Clawing on to a former shadow of his welfare
And begging mercy to a God that doesn’t care
He never wished for much or cared for much but he’s gone beyond control
He never thought that life was worth that much, except for his heart and soul
And, oh, he looked up to the sky and wished for something to live for
And in a diner on 46th. street
The music flows
The gambler out of new Orleans went inside to find
A band out of stature and out of mind
And the sounds that came out of them, yes he felt them inside
He had been met by the Sultans of Music, he couldn’t believe his eyes
He started moving around to that funky, fast music sound
Leaving his inner hatred and former self loathing behind
The Sultans kept on playing while he lost his mind
Yes, roaming the streets was the former way of life
Never wished for much or cared for much but he’s gone beyond control
He never thought that life was worth that much except for his heart and soul
And, oh, he looked up to the sky and wished for something to live for
And in that diner on 46th. street
The music still flows
Never wished for much or cared for much but he’s gone beyond control
He never thought that life was worth that much except for his heart and soul
But now he’s found a new way of life and never looking back
'Cause in that diner on 46th. street
The music still flows
