He wanted more from life than four kids and a wife
And a job in the dark Kentucky mines
A twenty acre farm with a shacky house and barn
That's all he had and all he left behind

At gamblin' he was lucky so he left Kentucky
Left behind his woman and his kids
Into the gay Casino in Nevada's town of Reno
Kentucky gambler planned to get rich quick

   Kentucky gambler who's gonna love your woman in kentucky
   Who's gonna be the one to give her what she needs
   Kentucky gambler who's gonna raise your children in Kentucky
   Who's gonna keep 'em fed and keep shoes on their feet

At the gambler's paradise Lady Luck was on his side
Kentucky gambler played his cards just right
He won at everything he played Kentucky gambler had it made
And he should have quit and gone on home that night

   But you have the greenback dollar sorrow's always bound to follow
   Reno's dreams fade into neon amber
   And Lady Luck she'll lead you on she'll stay awhile and then she's gone
   You'd better go home Kentucky gambler

But a gambler never seems to stop 'til he loses all he's got
And so Kentucky gambler he played on he played 'til he lost all he won
He was right back where he started from
The he started wantin' to go home

   Kentucky gambler there aint nobody waitin' in Kentucky
   Where you ran out and someone else walked in
   Kentucky gambler lokks like you aint really very lucky
   Seems to me a gambler loses much more than he wins
