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?

teaching love and honesty

and being his own man handler

or the son of

the son of a run of the mill run

rotten gambler?

will the devil

be getting to you

as you look back

over what you've 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?

teaching love and honesty

and being his own man handler

or the son of

the son of a run of the mill run

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 run

rotten gambler?
