Ride, Gambler Ride
Where the wild rivers flow
Ride, Gambler Ride
Til there's no place left to go
Verse
There's a town lyin over that hill
You don't remember? They remember you still.
There's a woman up there who you left behind
You weren't nothin' special, but you're still on her mind.
See, she got married to the boy next door
who works at the candy store
She got married to the boy next door, but she dreams about you.
Ride, Gambler, Ride
til youre poor ass is sore
Ride, Gambler, Ride
til you can't stand the pain no more
Verse
Your old daddy's a right fine man
and he raised you up, best he can.
And daddy's words still ringin' in your ear
From a long time back but they're loud and clear.
Hero ain't worth a lick my son, never fight when you can run.
Don't let no woman turn you around
And never stand when you can lie down.
Ride, Gambler, Ride
til you can't ride no more
Ride, Gambler, Ride
till your poor, broke up, raggedy
little ass is sore
Outro
Cowboy, ride.
