Son of a Rotten Gambler Anne Murray

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
Will he be the son of his father? His father, the teacher?
Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler
For the son of, the son of a run-of-the-mill run rotten gambler?

[Verse 2]
Will the devil be getting 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]
Will he be the son of his father? His father, the teacher?
Teaching love and honesty and being his own man handler
For the son of, the son of a run-of-the-mill run rotten gambler?

[Bridge]
Back on the road now (Back on the road), you can lose your head
There ain't no kingdom for the gambling man
You know the road now (You know the road) and you've made your stand
When his eyes shine upon you
Shine upon you
