Son of a Rotten Gambler

Lyrics

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
 Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher
 Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler
 Or the son of, the son of a run-of-the-mill rotten rotten gambler
 Will the devil be gettin' to you as you look back over what you've done
 And what you've done, was it for reason or for rhyme or was it just for fun
 Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher
 Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler
 Or the son, of the son of a run-of-the-mill rotten 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
 Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher
 Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler
 Or the son of the son of a run-of-the-mill rotten, 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
 Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher
 Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler
 Or the son of, the son of a run-of-the-mill rotten, rotten gambler
