lyrics

It's just me ain't it obvious this ol' gambler ain't that devious
gossip takes it all so serious but when it comes to dealing I'm oblivious

in the town in my packard I used to be a gent
got the attention of who to impress
had some foldin money enough to seem like more
spent it all by payday usually well before

had to exit early a little trouble with the law
hid out on the south side 'till the winter had its thaw
slipped back in one summer night feelin out the climate
all was well the sheriff retired clicked my heels and said

It's just me ain't it obvious this ol' gambler ain't that devious
gossip takes it all so serious but when it comes to dealing I'm oblivious

at the airport I'm dropped off my driver knows the way
off to convention on the circus that they say
is comin to town tired humorless clowns
ridiculous numbers in a volkswagon lost not found

the info was outdated the clowns already left
filled up bags and pockets with a practice known as theft
didn't seem to matter we surely got away
nothin left but home to wait for payback day

It's just me ain't it obvious this ol' gambler ain't that devious
gossip takes it all so serious but when it comes to dealing I'm oblivious
