John T Kares There Sits The Gambler Lyrics

Hey marine
You spent your life on your own selfish dreams
I crossed the line to lay the blame at you and worship you
Too many times

Then one fine day
You had no clue about the card you played
You handed me a lesson I could not have wished for
All my life

Lookie there sits the gambler
Next to him the gambler's son
Don't tell me he ain't no better than the other one

Just take your time
The sail has set you died too young for me
I have a handful of your weekend day and Kodachrome
Memories

What's in that heart?
If I could go back could you bare your soul
And tell me why you didn't see your fate and legacy
From what you stole

Lookie there sits the gambler
Next to him the gambler's son
Don't think I'd change a damn thing on your run

Lookie there sits the gambler
Next to him the gambler's son
Don't tell me he ain't no better than the other one
Lookie there sits the gambler
Next to him the gambler's son
Don't think I'd change a damn thing on your run
