[00:13.02]I wanted more f...
[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.
