the rebel (uk) - pinball machine lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m an old road hauler, i drove a big truck
i shot the pinball machine, but it brought me bad luck
if oceans was whiskey and i was a duck
i’d dive into it and never come up
i wish they’d outlaw them old pinball machines
thirty weeks they have caused me to live on sardines

[verse 2]
the last time i called my wife on the phone
the first thing she said was “johnny, can you come home?
i’ve got a lot of lodgers and they’ve got to go”
i said “i’ll see you when i get back from the depot”
she said “john, you know i love you, i wish you wouldn’t go
send your babies somе money, they’re hungry and cold”
thе last thing she said, and then she hung up
was “john, you gave up my loving to drive an old truck”

[verse 3]
i made my trip up to the depot
i was gone two months ’cause i shot up my dough
when i got home, my family was gone
the best friend i had rung my telephone
he said “john, i guess you’re wondering
about your babies and your wife
pneumonia got your babies and your wife took her life”
i’ve lost all my friends, i can’t sleep for bad dreams
i dream about an old truck and a pinball machine
[verse 4]
i never will forget
the last words that old man said
“oh, lord, if i could live my life over…”
and then he fell dead
he was a clean cut young man, aged nineteen
but now he’s in his grave
a victim of an old truck and a pinball machine
