Roll On Down The Road |
Yeah I say rollin' wheels and blackjack deals |
Are all the same to me |
Yeah traded away everything I made |
And headed out to Santa Fe |
Laid my money down, the filly came around |
She’s six lengths in the lead |
Yeah grabbed that money and 1 kissed my honey |
And we headed down to New Orleans |
Won’t you roll on down the road just let it roll |
Won’t you roll on down the road, let it roll |
Hell I’ve never stopped to ask myself |
If the getting’s worth the goal |
Guess I gotta gambler guess I gotta rambler |
Lord, I gotta gypsy soul |
Yeah well I gave thanks as they lowered the planks |
On the decks of the Delta Queen |
And I got in a game with a man named James |
And I figured I’d pick him clean |
When the bet went down and the deal came around |
Worst deal I’d ever seen |
I always thought my ace in the hole |
Must’ve been in Tennessee |
Well I always know’d my ace in the hole |
Must’ve been in music row |
They tell me, boys, gonna make a name |
That’s the only place to go |
If you don’t mind, I’m unkind |
Wanna do things my own way |
Yeah you gamble and you lose, sing a three chord blues |
Hell it’s all the same |
