The Big Wheel Lyrics

Well, I was only a kid, didn't know enough to be afraid Played the game but not the way the big boys played Nothing to lose, maybe I had something to trade The way the big wheel spins
Well, I was only a kid on a holy crusade I placed no trust in a faith that was ready-made Take no chances on paradise delayed So I do a slow fade
Playing for time, don't want to wait for heaven Looking for love, for an angel to forgive my sins Playing with fire, chasing something new to believe in Looking for love, the way the big wheel spins
Well, I was only a kid cruising around in a trance Prisoner of fate, victim of circumstance I was lined up for glory but the tickets sold out in advance The way the big wheel spins
Well, I was only a kid, gone without a backward glance Going for broke, going for another chance Hoping for heaven, hoping for a fine romance If I do the right dance
Wheel goes round, landing on a twist of faith Taking your chances, you'll have the right answers When the final judgment begins
Wheel goes round, landing on a leap of fate Life redirected in ways unexpected Sometimes the odd number wins The way the big wheel spins
