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
Chorus:
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
