My daddy hated that rock? n? roll. So I know I wasn? t supposed to go. To the loud devil music show. But I wound up in the snake pit with my best friend.
By now I should've been broken. On the rocks that rise from life's ocean. Just another ship lost at sea. . By now I should've been scattered. In the wind of my lonesome travels.
When I'm all alone. or in a crowd.. In a quite place. where musics loud.. When I'm on the road. or in the other room.. That's how you know. I'm thinking of you..
i left that sun sinkin' west in california. i was supposed to say in la a few more weeks. but the next time that old sun and i meet up. i'll be a thousand miles east.
I am the rovin' gambler, I've gambled all around. Whenever I meet with the deck of cards,. I lay my money down. I lay my money down, I lay my money down.
Father, meet me with Your arms wide open. The world's done broken Your Prodigal Son. Down that road I, traveled. Everything raveled only came undone. .
Just because it didn't last. Doesn't mean that we were wrong. We both fell in love so fast. And now it's gone and the hurt is strong. . Though we don't see eye to eye.
She never knew my name, least not the one my daddy gave me. I took off the way I came, moonlight reflectin' off the chrome. She didn't want my story so I didn't have to lie.
And girl, I've made a name everybody writes off. An open-road hard case, a honky tonk lost cause. The fate I'm lookin' at, there ain't no way around. A long and lonely path, I'm destined to go down.
I've been called a rambler. 'Cause i keep my eyes on that horizon line. And i've been called a gambler. 'Cause i always wanna let my winnings ride. I've been broke more times than I can count.
All the noise and the voices are screamin'. What they have to say. And the headlines and sound bytes are givin' me. Demons to hate. And the man on TV.
i came up through the trenches where. we only played for tips and alcohol. you find out what you're made of when there. ain't no gold or platinum on the wall.
