Throwing Horseshoes At The Moon

Intro: | () Verse My father was a gambler, he threw horseshoes at the moon He won a million dollars, and lost a million, too They repossessed the house, and towed that Cadil- lac My daddy, he just smiled and said, "One day I'll win it back" My daddy bought that Cadillac off a Detroit motor line Then he drove it through his home town, to prove he hit his prime With hundred dollars bills in a Saint Chris money clip And four kids starrin' proudly from that big ole sinkin' ship Throwin' horseshoes at the moon Boys, it's mighty risky odds Some- times ya hook the milky way or the outstretched hands of God But mostly they just fall into a dark and dusty hole And the sound of fallin' horse shoes pulls upon your soul Throwin' horse shoes at the moon Instrumental | () | | () | (D) --- Verse My daddy was a gambler but he had an honest heart He never did com- plain when the whole thing fell a- part He just swam that sea of alcohol till he reached the other side How can ya be a loser if you never loss your pride? Throwin' horse shoes at the moon Boys, it's mighty risky odds Some- times ya hook the milky way or the outstretched hands of God But mostly they just fall into a dark and dusty hole And the sound of fallin' horse shoes pulls upon your soul Throwin' horse shoes at the moon Tag Throwin horse shoes at the moon
