[Intro – acoustic guitar / bottleneck slide] Woah... Mmm... Yeah... [Verse 1] Damn sun’s shining way too bright today When the sky looks lucky I bet the other way Rain starts falling I put my money on the sun That’s life, ain’t it? You lose some... Then you lose another one Woah... Yeah... [Bottleneck Slide Fill] [Verse 2] Played poker last night Drank too damn much Thought I had the cards Thought I still had the touch Had my last few dollars sitting right there in my hand Then some quiet son of a gun took every damn cent Mmm... Cleaned me out again [Bottleneck Slide Response] [Verse 3] Sorry, Mama I know... I know... You worked those tired hands while I kept chasing luck Kept saying “One more time” Kept saying “This one’s enough” Never meant to hurt you Never meant to let you down I just figured one good winner could turn this whole thing ’round Woah... One good winner, Mama... That’s all [Chorus] Mama, don’t you worry I’ll make it right someday All I need’s one good hand to finally go my way I ain’t asking for a fortune I just need a little start One clean break One lucky night Then I’ll give you everything I got Yeah... Everything I got [Instrumental – bottleneck slide guitar] [Verse 4] This time I mean it Yeah, I swear I do Found some honest work down past Highway Two No more late-night poker No more whiskey till I fall Gonna earn an honest dollar Gonna straighten out it all Mmm... You’ll see, Mama You’ll see [Break – guitar stops, soft slide answer] Woah... Yeah... [Final Verse] There’s just one thing before I go Mama... Don’t get mad Could you lend me a little money? Just whatever you got I wouldn’t ask if I wasn’t sure Wouldn’t waste your time Mmm... Mama... Found me a good horse.
