And his love will be his vision
And he`ll take you where you stand
And will you stand
Your life by his and help the boy become a man ?
Will he be the son of his father
His father
the teacher teachin` love
And honesty and bein` his own man handler
Or the son of
the son of a run of the millrun
Rotten gambler.
Will the devil be gettin` to you as you look back
Over what you`ve done.
And what you`ve done
Was it for reason or for rhyme or was it just for fun?
Will he be the son of his father
. . .
Back on the road now deacon will lose your hand
There ain`t no kingdom for the gamblin` man.
You know the road now and you have made your stand
And when his eyes shine upon you
shine upon you
Will he be the son of his father
. . .
