Tom Scullin - Saint Peters' Keys

I've been with senoritas'
in the fields of Idaho
potato chips
that go so well with beer
and I've traveled well on winding roads that only I will know
when I'm done doing time I'll have them all right here
St. Peter's keys
I'll always have them near

"CHORUS"

I'm a rambler, gambler, street fighting man
just a grain of sand upon the wind
I'm a spacer, chaser just doing what I am
and I'll break in two
before I bend
but I'm praying for the day it's gonna end

I've played one blackjack table
I'll soon see number two
casino chips
that rise instead of fall
and I'm betting on tomorrow's draw
to get me where I'll go
when I'm done doing time I'll be counting as I stall
St. Peter's keys
I'm bound to have them all

"CHORUS"

I'm a rambler, gambler, street fighting man
just one grain of sand upon the wind
I'm a spacer, chaser just doing what I am
and I'll break in two
before I bend
but I'm praying for the day it's gonna end

I've never been a soldier
but I've always fought a war
fighting chips
on shoulders to the ground
but I never took the time to think
they'd always be around
when I'm done doing time they'll never knock me down
St. Peter's keys
let's go another round

"CHORUS"

I'm a rambler, gambler, street fighting man
just one grain of sand upon the wind
I'm a spacer, chaser just doing what I am
and I'll break in two
before I bend
but I'm praying for the day it's gonna end
