ian sylvia - summer wages lyrics

Loading...

never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer
for you know the odds won’t ride with you
never leave your woman alone when your friends are out
to steal her
years i’ve gambled and lost like summer wages.

and we’ll keep rolling on till we get to vancouver
and the woman that i love who’s living there
it’s been six long months and more since i’ve seen her
may be gambled and gone like summer wages.

in all of the beer parlors all down along main street
the dreams of the seasons are all spilled down on the
floor
all the big stands of timber just waitin’ for falling
and the hookers standin’ watchfully waitin by the door.

so, i’ll work on the towboats with my slippery city
shoes which i swore i would never do again
through the gray fog-bound straits where the cedars
stand a watchin’
i’ll be far off and gone like summer wages.

— instrumental —

in all of the beer parlors all down along main street
the dreams of the seasons get all spilled down on the
floor
all the big stands of timber just waitin’ for a faller
and the hookers standin’ watchfully waiting by the
door.

so, i’ll work on the towboats with my slippery city
shoes on
which i swore i would never do again
through the gray fog-bound straits where the cedars
stand a waitin’
i’ll be far off and gone like summer wages.

years i’ve gambled and lost like summer wages…
