06 Midnight Roll

I was my daddy’s favorite child
Always on his heels yeah, running wild
Took me to the places a kid can’t go
I stood there in the shadows and watched him roll

Cursin’ and a prayin’ to lady luck
Passin’ round a pint of that hardcore stuff
Back behind old Cooperman’s store
All of them gamblers keepin’ score

Sayin’ seven eleven come on honey
All I need is one for the money
Snake eyes don’t you look my way
I might live to see another day
Woah oh throw em again
Woah oh, you just might win
Woah oh, a man could lose his sole
On a midnight roll

Sometimes daddy got in to deep
With debts to pay and a house to keep
The only time I ever heard him pray
Was trying to keep those boxcars away

One night he just didn’t come home
Momma’s face was hard as stone
When the Sherrif come knockin at the door
Sayin’ daddy lost it all to a .44
I can hear him say…

Sayin’ seven eleven come on honey
All I need is one for the money
Snake eyes don’t you look my way
I might live to see another day
Woah oh throw em again
Woah oh, you just might win
Woah oh, a man could lose his sole
On a midnight roll

I can hear him Say seven eleven come on honey
All I need is one for the money
Snake eyes don’t you look my way
I might live to see another day
Woah oh throw em again
Woah oh, you just might win
Woah oh, a man could lose his sole
On a midnight roll…
