And his love will be his vision
He'll take you where you stand
Will you stand your life by his
And help the boy become a man?
Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher
Teachin' love and honesty and bein' his own man handler
Or the son of, the son of the run of the millrun rotten gambler?
Will the devil be gettin' to you
As you look back over what you've done
What you've done, was it for reason or for rhyme
Or was it just for fun?
Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher
Teachin' love and honesty and bein' his own man handler
Or the son of, the son of the run of the millrun rotten gambler?
Back on the road now deacon will lose your hand
There ain't no kingdom for the gamblin' man
You know the road now and you've made your stand
When his eyes shine upon you, shine upon you
Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher
Teachin' love and honesty and bein' his own man handler
Or the son of, the son of the run of the millrun rotten gambler?
Will he be the son of his father, his father the teacher
Teachin' love and honesty and bein' his own man handler
Or the son of, the son of the run of the millrun rotten gambler?
