Throwin' Horseshoes at the Moon

歌詞

My father was a gambler, he threw horseshoes at the moon He won a million dollars and lost a million, too They repossessed the house, they towed that Cadillac My daddy, he just smiled and said, "One day I'll win it back" My daddy bought that Cadillac off a Detroit motor line Then he drove it through his hometown to prove he hit his prime With hundred dollars bills in a Saint Chris money clip And four kids staring proudly from that big old sinking ship Throwin' horseshoes at the moon Boys, it's mighty risky odds Sometimes ya hook the milky way or the outstretched hands of god But mostly they just fall into a dark and dusty hole And the sound of falling horse shoes, it pulls upon your soul Throwin' horseshoes at the moon My daddy was a gambler, but he had an honest heart He never did complain when the whole thing fell apart He just swam that sea of alcohol till he reached the other side How can you be a loser when you never lose your pride? Throwin' horseshoes at the moon Boys, it's mighty risky odds Sometimes ya hook the milky way or the outstretched hands of god But mostly they just fall into a dark and dusty hole And the sound of falling horse shoes, it pulls upon your soul Throwin' horseshoes at the moon Throwin' horseshoes at the moon
