|
(Hold the line)
|
Linin' them up
|
I remember they shoot 'em
|
Never dared dream that they'd shoot anyone
|
Now I'm a simple man tied on the vine
|
Caught up in the times
|
And fates on my right hand
|
CHORUS
|
|
Gamble of the ages
|
Suit me up
|
I'm ready to go
|
Oh such a young man
|
When the loading had begun
|
(I guess, I guess)
|
|
Don't press your luck angel face
|
Don't push it out
|
Shove you way to the front too fast
|
I was framed no holds barred
|
So they say
|
I can't believe that it ended all like this
|
|
Gamble of the ages
|
Suit me up
|
I'm ready to go
|
Oh such a young man
|
When the loading had begun
|
When I was a boy I would dream about space
|
Space it would change year to year
|
When she would take me down way down by the stream
|
Oh that last frontier
|
I still can hear he say "be home before dark"
|
Put one here upon me baby
|
Remember me for what I was
|
Tell the man who'll be settin' me up
|
I'll be back before you know
|
Where is that pilgrim saint
|
We'll see the next time we get back up
|
She said, "you might be
|
ex-patriot but i'll love you like the sun
|
|
Gamble of the ages
|
Suit me up
|
I'm ready to go
|
Oh to be such a young man
|
When the loading time began
|
Began..........
|
Hey...ho!!!!!!!!
|
Oh I'm a simple man
|
mmmmmmghhhh
|
Tied on the vine
|
