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 |
