| Daddy was a gambler back in seventy-two
|
| He had a taste for the night life and he loved his booze
|
| He had a woman on one arm and a tattoo on the other
|
| It was hard to read I don’t know what it said
|
| Somethin about my mother
|
| I stood over his shoulder back in Bakersfield
|
| He had some rhinestone boots with those high ridin’heels
|
| He bet a ton of money on a hand I thought was dead
|
| When those sevens cleaned the table up He just looked around and said
|
| Sometimes you win sometimes you won’t
|
| Sometimes you beat that devil sometimes you don’t
|
| We’re all just killin time
|
| Till the good Lord calls us home
|
| And the best that you can hope for
|
| Is to die with your boots on I drive a big rig from shore to shore
|
| I’ve got a woman beside me And my name out on the door
|
| Can’t make no money if I don’t outrun the man
|
| That’s why you find me streakin’through the night
|
| Catch me if you can
|
| Repeat Chorus Three times |
