Intro

 

Verse

I'm going from town to town two-fisted drinkin I'm slammin' them down
I've been to every part of town looking for my luck, not messin' around
Seen every woman around, she's a meltdown
I bet she's a hustler, only trying to take me down
I think I'm a rambler, but they know I'm really a gambler in disguise
Rollin' the dice behind my back, rollin' it twice I'm on the attack
Snake eyes a-blazin', I go crazy

Chorus

Once a gambler in this old town
I'm just a rambler when I'm out hanging around
I ain't no gambler I just fool around
I gotta leave my mark and get the hell outta this town

Interlude

 

Verse 2

I've faced the best sharpshooters and been dealt a bad hand
I ain't no gambler but I bet I'm the best around town
Drinkin' whiskey tradin' aces, got me a full hand in all the right places
One night I caught a man looking over my shoulder looking at my aces high
I pulled out my six-shooter emptied it on the thief
Put him six feet underground it's the last thing he did to me

Chorus 2

Once a gambler in this old town
I'm just a rambler when I'm out hanging around
I ain't no gambler I just fool around
I gotta leave my mark and get the hell outta this town
Once a gambler in this old town
I'm just a rambler when I'm out hanging around
I ain't no gambler I just fool around
I gotta leave my mark and get the hell outta this town

Verse 3

This girl that rode with me a sure bet but my bet is off the table
Looking back see the light looking back I played it right
When that bet was surely made I'll have no regrets
So I bet she's a hustler she's only trying to take me down

Chorus 3

Once a gambler in this old town
I'm just a rambler when I'm out hanging around
I ain't no gambler I just fool around
I gotta leave my mark and get the hell outta this town
Once a gambler in this old town
I'm just a rambler when I'm out hanging around
I ain't no gambler I just fool around
I gotta leave my mark and get the hell outta this town
Oh play it one time oh yeah
