[00:13.02]I wanted more from life, than four kids and a wife[00:18.06]And a job in a dark Kentucky mine.[00:22.80]A twenty acre farm, with a shackey house and barn[00:27.45]Thats all I had and all I left behind[00:32.31]But at gambling, I was lucky, and so I left Kentucky[00:37.29]And left behind my woman and my kids[00:42.00]Into the gay casinos, of Nevada's town of Reno[00:46.62]This Kentucky Gambler planned to get rich quick[00:51.90]Kentucky gambler who's going to love your woman in Kentucky[00:56.10]Yeah - and who's going to be the one to give her all she needs[01:00.99]Kentucky gambler, who's going to raise your children in Kentucky[01:07.41]And who's going to keep them fed and keep them shoes on their feet[01:13.29]There at the gambler's Paradise, Lady luck was on my side[01:18.42]and this Kentucky gambler played just right[01:22.95]Yeah I won at everything I played - I really thought I had it made[01:27.81]But I should have quit and gone on home that night[01:32.55]But when you love the green backed dollar, sorrow always bound to follow[01:37.56]and Reno's dreams fade into neon amber[01:42.21]And Lady Luck, she'll lead you on[01:44.49]She'll stay a while, and then she's gone[01:47.19]You better go on home, Kentucky gambler[01:51.60]But a gambler never seems to stop, till he loses all he's got[01:57.03]and with a money - hungry fever, I played on[02:01.20]I played till I'd lost all I'd won, I was right back where I'd started from[02:06.12]Then I started wanting - to go home[02:11.01]Kentucky gambler, there ain't nobody, waiting in Kentucky[02:15.60]When I ran out, somebody else walked in[02:18.72]Kentucky gambler, looks like you ain't really very lucky[02:25.14]And it seems to me a gambler loses much more than he wins[02:31.47]much more than he wins.
