nugget lament

well i went to the nugget with my pockets full of money

big ole diamond rings on my hand

i rolled into town

in a big long cadillac

i was a man with a plan

with smile on my face i walked up to the table

and threw down a hundred dollar bill

bakersfield

i'm on my way

dear old daddy

come through again

they took my bankroll

my diamond rings

my cadillac

but the thing that hurt the most about the whole danged act

was the audacity

to smile and say. please hurry back!

so i called up my buddy

and said lend me some money"
