lyrics
[Verse 1]
You promised you’d never go back to that place
But I see betrayal in that look on your face
Casino Royale stole your heart far away
All I want is to know that I can be safe with you
[Chorus]
Turn away from the old baited bar
Drive away in your getaway car
Let’s choose to end harmful gambling and never look back
[Verse 2]
Whisper goodbye to your money, now waste
And whisper goodbye to those vagabond days
Make your choice, not chance, so you can replace
History with memories without a gambling trace
[Chorus x2]
Turn away from the old baited bar
Drive away in your getaway car
Let’s choose to end harmful gambling and never look back
Turn away from the old baited bar
Drive away in your getaway car
Let’s choose to end harmful gambling and never look back
[Verse 3]
Take your chance while you still can decide
Don’t let the past now determine your life
Here I stand with my arms open wide
Take a step take your victory stride
[Chorus x2]
Turn away from the old baited bar
Drive away in your getaway car
Let’s choose to end harmful gambling and never look back
Turn away from the old baited bar
Drive away in your getaway car
Let’s choose to end harmful gambling and never look back
