[CHORUS]
G C G You may ask me why I gamble so G F# Em D And I’ll ask you why I was born without a row to hoe G C G Daddy has some acres, a few cows, and a house G D G That’s not the life I want to lead so I found another way out G C G A man can’t help what’s running through his veins G F# Em D So I skipped town at an early age, went to Newport on a train G C G Fell in with a bad crowd playing cards in some backstreet bar G D G One-eyed jacks look good but one eye won’t let you see too far C G The all-night card games soon made me a stranger to the sun C Am D When you owe the wrong men money, it’s natural to run G C G With the newfound sunlight at my back I set out in the wind G F# D G And headed west to River City to try it all again
[CHORUS]
G C G You may ask me why I gamble so G F# Em D And I’ll ask you why I was born without a row to hoe G C G Daddy has some acres, a few cows, and a house G D G That’s not the life I want to lead so I found another way out G C G You can’t be in Louisville without making a Derby bet G F# Em D But I made all the wrong ones and soon ended up in debt G C G That’s what happens when you spend a dollar trying to make a dime G D G I watched my future ride away two minutes at a time C G A wise man knows when it’s time to fold and leave the game C Am D I’m probably not a wise man but I folded just the same G C G With nothing but my wounded pride and a bottle of Wild Irish Rose G F# D G I tucked my tail between my legs and staggered back to Jacksboro Rd
[CHORUS]
C G You may ask me why I gamble so C Am D I was betting I’d escape from all these rows to hoe G C G Looks like it’s me and daddy and brother, these acres and these cows G D G It’s not the life I want to lead, I’ve got to find another way out G D G It’s not the life I want to lead, I’m gonna find another way out
