Testo One Trick Pony

I never saw a town where I threw them raises down
Didn't know the lonesome sound of a midnight train
The kind that calls my name, I was born to play the game
Even if it's all in vain, call me what you want

I'm bound to tell the truth the way that gambler's rarely do
They be tying up your noose and calling you "friend"
If it was up to me, like the bluebird, you'd be free Oh this life ain't what it seems if you catch my drift

Rich men pretend to be poor
Poor folks only want a little bit more
What they never had before
And it's a crying shame

My daddy worked the land
And mama raised me with her hands
We all do the best we can
With the cards we're dealt

I ain't one to beg or plead
But I could sure use some relief
Those who label me a thief for standing up tall And there's a woman on my mind
For her I'd gladly give my life
And the little girl by her side
That wears my name

A one-trick pony knows
That it's all about the show
Life is but a rodeo
And you can write that down

I best be moving on
You turn your head and I'll be gone
In this world I won't be long
Just like you
