[Verse 1] Daddy was a gambler Back in seventytwo 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 dont know what it said Something about my mother [Verse 2] I stood over his shoulder back in Bakersfield He had some rhinestone boots with those high riding 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 [Chorus] Sometimes you win Sometimes you wont Sometimes you beat that devil Sometimes you dont Were all just killing time Till the good Lord calls us home And the best that you can hope for is to die With your boots on [Verse 3] I drive a big rig from shore to shore Ive got a woman beside me And my name out on the door Cant make no money If I dont outrun the man Thats why you find me streaking through the night Catch me if you can [Chorus] Sometimes you win Sometimes you wont Sometimes you beat that devil Sometimes you dont Were all just killing time Till the good Lord calls us home And the best that you can hope for is to die [Chorus] Sometimes you win Sometimes you wont Sometimes you outrun that devil Sometimes you dont Were all just killing time Till 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
