Never hit seventeen when you play against the dealer
For you know that the odds don't ride with you
Never leave your woman alone when your friends are out to steal her
Years are gambled and gone like summer wages
So we keep rolling on till we come to Vancouver
And the woman that I love is living there
It's been six lonely months and maybe more since I've seen her
Maybe gambled and gone like summer wages
In all of the beer halls on down along Main Street
The dreams of the season have all spilled down on the floor
And there's a big stand of timber waiting there for falling
Like the hookers standing watch for me waiting by the door
So I work on these towboats with my slippery cowboy boots on
Like I swore I would never do again
Down these grey fogbound straits where the cedars stand watching
I'll be far off and gone like summer wages
She's a woman so fine I will never go back to find her
For good memories are better left unchanged
Though I know that I will miss her and likely always love her
I have gambled and lost my summer wages
Years are gambled and they're gone like summer wages
