Saint Peters' Keys Lyrics - Tom Scullin

I've been with senoritas' 

in the fields of Idaho 

potato chips 

that go so well with beer 

and I've traveled well on winding roads that only I will know 

when I'm done doing time I'll have them all right here 

St. Peter's keys 

I'll always have them near 

"CHORUS" 

I'm a rambler, gambler, street fighting man 

just a grain of sand upon the wind 

I'm a spacer, chaser just doing what I am 

and I'll break in two 

before I bend 

but I'm praying for the day it's gonna end 

I've played one blackjack table 

I'll soon see number two 

casino chips 

that rise instead of fall 

and I'm betting on tomorrow's draw 

to get me where I'll go 

when I'm done doing time I'll be counting as I stall 

St. Peter's keys 

I'm bound to have them all 

"CHORUS" 

I'm a rambler, gambler, street fighting man 

just one grain of sand upon the wind 

I'm a spacer, chaser just doing what I am 

and I'll break in two 

before I bend 

but I'm praying for the day it's gonna end 

I've never been a soldier 

but I've always fought a war 

fighting chips 

on shoulders to the ground 

but I never took the time to think 

they'd always be around 

when I'm done doing time they'll never knock me down 

St. Peter's keys 

let's go another round 

"CHORUS" 

I'm a rambler, gambler, street fighting man 

just one grain of sand upon the wind 

I'm a spacer, chaser just doing what I am 

and I'll break in two 

before I bend 

but I'm praying for the day it's gonna end
