I’m a gambler, come on, deal me a hand
I’ll take your money and show you who I am
I’m an addict, smoked everything under the sun
Just hold it in until your mind is numb
I’m a poet, write every damn word I sing
How long until they try to take it all away from me?
I’m a cowboy, was born out on these planes
There is red, white and blue embedded in my veins
I’m just a man that’s been through more than he can hardly stand
I know who I am, see, I’ll live and die by this here brand
I’ll be damned if you think you can buy me off this land
No city man’s gonna take it unless it’s from my cold dead hands
I’m a sinner, go on, get me a gun
And I’ll bury that son of a bitch where he belongs
I’m a rider, been damn near everywhere
See, I got a story for every scar and tear
Come closer if you dare
But the last one who tried to cheat me is under the stairs
Got an anger with plenty left to spare
Cut me down, and son, I’ll make it fair
I’m just a man that’s been through more than he can hardly stand
I know who I am, see, I’ll live and die by this here brand
I’ll be damned if you think you can buy me off this land
No city man’s gonna take it unless it’s from my cold dead hands
From my cold dead hands
I’m a gambler, come on, deal me a hand
I’ll take your money and show you who I am
