Lyrics
Never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer
For you know the odds won't ride with you
Never leave your woman alone when friends are out to steal her
She may be gambled and gone like summer wages
Well, we keep on rolling along 'til we get to Vancouver
And the woman I love who's waiting there
It's been six long months and more since I've seen her
She may be gambled and gone like summer wages
And all the beer parlors down along Main Street
Where the dreams of the season spill out on the floor
Where the tall stands of timber are waiting for the falling
And the hookers standing watchfully waiting by the door
I'm gonna work on them towboats with my slippery city shoes on
Which I swore I would never do again
Through those great fogbound straits where the cedars stand waiting
I may be gambled and gone like summer wages
And all the beer parlors down along Main Street
Where the dreams of the season spill out on the floor
Where the tall stands of timber are waiting for the falling
And the hookers standing watchfully waiting by the door
Never hit seventeen when you're playing against the dealer
For you know that the odds won't ride with you
And never leave your woman alone when
Your friends are out to steal her
She may be gambled and gone like summer wages
The years are gambled and lost like summer wages
