And his love will be his vision
And he'll take you where you stand
And will you stand your life by his
And help the boy become a man

He'd be the son of his father
His father the teacher
Teaching love and honesty
Being his own manhandler
For the son of the son of a run of the mill run
Rotten gambler

Will the devil be gettin' to you
As you look back over what you've done
And what you've done
Was it for reason or for rhyme
Was it just for fun

chorus

Back on the road now
You can lose your head
There ain't no kingdom for the gamblin' man
You know the road now
And you've made your stand
When his eyes shine upon you
Shine upon you
