[Verse 1]
I'm a dealin' man, still dealing, yet
Keep on dealing down till I can find me a bed
And I know I done stopped dealing, babe, I believe I'll ride 'em on down
Well I done stopped dealing, I believe I'll ride 'em on down
[Verse 2]
Raised in the country, darling, birthed in town
Twenty-two kids on there look like mine
I believe I'll have to stop dealing, believe I'll ride 'em on down
Well, I done stopped dealing, I believe I'll ride 'em on down
[Verse 3]
I'm dealing darling, bottom of the deck
Seem like you want to even take me west
I'm gonna stop dealing, darling, until I can ride 'em on down
Well, I done stopped dealing, I believe I'll ride 'em on down
[Harmonica Solo]
[Verse 4]
Born in this city not a day before
You come today knocking at my door
Have to stop dealing darling, believe I'll ride 'em on down
You know I done stopped dealing, I believe I'll ride 'em on down
[Outro]
Go ahead, ride 'em on down
Gambles on you, daddy
Won't have to worry no more
