If I was a gamblin' man

Never would've let you play your hand

With a broken down

Cowboy

Like me

'Cause you never can trust your luck

He's bad news in a pick up truck

That broken down

Cowboy

Like me

He's played every card he's got

Had a good hand but he messed it up

With that bum around

Tumble down heart

Saddle bags full of pain

Carries 'em around just

Like a middle name

A losin' streak

Waitin'

For dark

Oh he'll string you along

Sing you a lonesome song

But he'll wind up alone

Again

No matter how hard you try

Never gonna let you get inside

That tumble down

Broken down heart

It's a tough riding rodeo

Mean horse threw him long time ago

A broken down cowboy like me

But the way I feel about you

Wouldn't want that horse

To hurt you too

A broken down cowboy

Like me

Oh he'll string you along

Sing you a lonesome song

But he'll wind up alone

Again

If I was a gamblin' man

Never would've let you play that hand

With a broken down

Cowboy

Like me
