"Once A Gambler" lyrics

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
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

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

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

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

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
