Chip Taylor Son Of A Rotten Gambler Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
Will he be the son of his father? His father, the teacher?
Teaching love and honesty and being his own manhandler
For the son of the son of a run-of-the-mill run rotten gambler?
[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
Will he be the son of his father? His father, the teacher?
Teaching love and honesty and being his own manhandler
For the son of the son of a run-of-the-mill run rotten gambler? [Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Will he be the son of his father? His father, the teacher?
Teaching love and honesty and being his own manhandler
For the son of the son of a run-of-the-mill run rotten gambler?

[Outro]
Will he be the son of his father?
His father, the teacher
Or the son of a rotten gambler?
The son of a rotten gambler
The son of a rotten gambler
The son of a rotten gambler
The son of a rotten gambler
The son of a rotten gambler
The son of a rotten gambler
