Son of a Rotten Gambler

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

Teachin' love and honesty

And bein' his own manhandler

For the son of, the son of a run of the mill run

Rotten gambler

Will the devil be gettin' to you

As you look back over what you done?

And what you've done

Was it for reason or for rhyme?

Was it just for fun?

Will he be the son of his father?

His father, the teacher

Teachin' love and honesty

And bein' his own manhandler

For the son of, the son of a run of the mill run

Rotten gambler?

Back on the road now (Back on the road)

You can lose your head

There ain't no kingdom for the gamblin' man

You know the road now (You know the road)

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

Teachin' love and honesty

And bein' his own manhandler

For the son of, the son of a run of the mill run

Rotten gambler?
