Intro Ride, Gambler Ride Where the wild rivers flow Ride, Gambler Ride Til there's no place left to go Verse There's a town lyin over that hill You don't remember? They remember you still. There's a woman up there who you left behind You weren't nothin' special, but you're still on her mind. See, she got married to the boy next door who works at the candy store She got married to the boy next door, but she dreams about you. Interlude: Ride, Gambler, Ride til youre poor ass is sore Ride, Gambler, Ride til you can't stand the pain no more Interlude: Verse Your old daddy's a right fine man and he raised you up, best he can. And daddy's words still ringin' in your ear From a long time back but they're loud and clear. Hero ain't worth a lick my son, never fight when you can run. Don't let no woman turn you around And never stand when you can lie down. Interlude: Ride, Gambler, Ride til you can't ride no more Ride, Gambler, Ride till your poor, broke up, raggedy little ass is sore Outro Cowboy, ride.
