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
