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
|
|
And he'd be the son of his father his father the teacher
|
Teaching love and honesty being his own man handler
|
For the son of the son of run of the mill run
|
Rotten gambler
|
|
Will the devil be getting to you as you look back
|
Over what you've done
|
And what you've done was it for reason or rhyme
|
Was it just for fun
|
|
And he'd be the son of his father his father the teacher
|
Teachin' love and honesty being his own man handler
|
For the son of the son of run of the mill run
|
Rotten gambler
|
|
Back on the road now you can lose your head
|
There ain't no kingdom for the gambling man
|
You know the road now and you've made your stand
|
When his eyes shine upon you shine upon you
|
|
And he'd be the son of his father his father the teacher
|
Teaching love and honesty being his own man handler
|
For the son of the son of run of the mill run
|
Rotten gambler
|
|
Back on the road now you can lose your head
|
There ain't no kingdom for the gambling man
|
You know the road now and you've made your stand
|
When his eyes shine upon you shine upon you
|
|
And he'd be the son of his father his father the teacher
|
Teaching love and honesty being his own man handler
|
or the son of the son of run of the mill run
|
Rotten gambler
