[00:00.00]Summer Wages - Tony Rice
[00:14.34]Never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer
[00:21.26]For you know that the odds won't ride with you
[00:28.18]And never leave your woman alone when your friends are out to steal her
[00:35.29]Years are gambled and lost like summer wages
[00:44.28]And we'll keep rollin on til we get to vancouver
[00:51.46]And the woman that i love who's living there
[00:58.27]It's been six long months and more since i've seen her
[01:05.27]She may be gambled and gone like summer wages
[01:14.40]And all the beer parlors all down along main street
[01:21.61]The dreams of the seasons are all spilled down on the floor
[01:28.50]All the big stands of timber just waiting for falling
[01:35.59]And the hustlers sitting watchfully as they wait there by the door
[01:44.32]So i'll work on the towboats in my slippery city shoes
[01:51.21]Which i swore i would never do again
[01:58.46]Through the worst fogbound straits where the cedars stand watching
[02:05.56]I'll be far off and gone like summer wages
[02:44.16]Ah she's a woman so fine i may never try to find her
[02:51.23]For good memories of what we had before
[02:58.38]They should never be changed for they're all that i'll take with me
[03:05.34]Now i've gambled and lost my summer wages
[03:44.11]Years are gambled and lost like summer wages
