Dolly Parton - Kentucky Gambler Lyrics
He wanted more from likeThan four kids and a wifeAnd a job in the dark kentucky minesA twenty-acre farmWith a shacky house and barnThats all he hadAnd all he left behindAt gambling he was luckySo he left kentuckyLeft behind his woman and his kidsInto the gay casinoIn nevadas town of renoKentucky gambler planned to get rich quickKentucky gambler, whos gonna love your woman in kentuckyWhos gonna be the one to give her what she needsKentucky gambler, whos gonna raise your children in kentuckyWhos gonna keep them fed and keep shoes on their feetAt the gamblers paradiseLady luck was on his sideKentucky gambler played his cards just rightHe won at everything he playedKentucky gambler had it madeAnd he should have quit and gone on home that nightBut when you love the greenback dollarSorrows always bound to followReno dreams fade into neon amberAnd lady luck, shell leave you onShell saty awhile, and then shes goneYoud better go on home kentucky gamblerBut a gambler never seems to stopTil he loses all hes gotAnd so, kentucky gambler, he played onHe played til he lost all he wonHe was right back where he started fromThen he started wanting to go homeKentucky gambler, there aint nobody waiting in kentuckyWhen you walked out, somebody else walked inKentucky gambler, looks like you aint really very luckySeems to me a gambler looses much more than he winsSo you think about itKentucky gambler
