Die with Your Boots On

Daddy was a gambler Back in seventy-two He had a taste for the nightlife 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 Sometimes you win Sometimes you won't Sometimes you beat that devil Sometimes you don't We're all just killin' time Til 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 Sometimes you win Sometimes you won't Sometimes you beat that devil Sometimes you don't We're all just killin' time Til the good Lord calls us home And the best that you can hope for is to die Sometimes you win Sometimes you won't Sometimes you outrun that devil Sometimes you don't We're all just killin' time Til the good Lord calls us home And the best that you can hope for is to die With your boots on With your boots on
