D C
Daddy was a gambler back in '72
G
He had a taste for the night life
Bb C
And he loved his booze
D
He had a woman on one arm
C
And a tattoo on the other
G Bb
It was hard to read I don't know what it said
C D
Something about my mother
D C
I stood over his shoulder back in Bakersfield
G Bb C
He had some rhinestone boots with those high ridin' heels
D C
He bet a ton of money on a hand I thought was dead
G Bb
When those 7's cleaned the table up
C D
He just looked around and said
Chorus:
G
Sometimes you win
D
Sometimes you won't
A
Sometimes you beat that devil
D
Sometimes you don't
G
We're all just killin' time
D
Til the good lord calls us home
C G
And the best that you can hope for is
Bb C D
To die with your boots on.
D C
I drive a big rig run from shore to shore
G
I've got a woman beside me
Bb C
and my name out on the door
D C
I can't make no money if I don't out run the man
G Bb
That's why you find me streakin' through the night
C D
Catch me if you can
Chorus
Chorus 2 :
G
Sometimes you win
D
Sometimes you won't
A
sometimes you'll out run that devil
D
Sometimes you don't
G D Bm
We're all just killin' time til the good Lord calls us home
C G Bb C
And the best that you can hope for is to die
D
With your boots on
D
With your boots on
