HIGH ROLLER
Doug Adamz

I use to be a high roller
Now I’m just a low baller
Use to tip a hundred dollar
Now I’m just a Hog Caller.
(High Roller, Low Baller, Hundred Dollar, Hog Caller)

I use to roll with the upper crust,
Straight up through the boom and down to the bust,
They use to refer to me as the man,
Pickin’ up bottles and squashin’ cans,
(Upper Crust, Boom & Bust, Me the Man, Squashin’ Cans)

Use to be a humdinger,
Now I’m a just a hash slinger,
I guess I shed my worldly riches,
Diggin’ up taters and diggin’ ditches.
(Worldly Riches, Diggin’ Ditches, Humdinger, Street Singer)

But I’m just as happy as a body can be,
Cause I got you and you got me,
Milk & Honey, Bread & Butter,
I can feel that Phoenix Flutter.

Banker’s bag is surely growin’,
Evybody else shows signs of slowin’,
It’s a world of treachery, bullies and lies,
They whittled me down to a littler size,
(Bag is growin’, Signs of slowin’, bullies and lies, littler size)

Use to holler like a rooster crowin’
Now everybody tells me that the ribs are showin’
A mover and a shaker with a silver spoon,
Now my portion is a little picayune,
(Rooster Crowin, Ribs are showin’, Silver Spoon, Little Picayune)
