I’ve never been a gambling man
But luck don’t fail me now
I’ve often doubted myself before
But I’ll find some faith somehow

But if we had money to burn my love
We’d live in a different world
You know that I’ve never had a lot
But I’ve never pretended to be a man I’m not

So until the day you begin to tire
Won’t you sit down beside me and warm by my fire

If love paid bills and bought you things
You’d be the richest girl in town
I always said I’d treat you kind
So I hope you’ll stick around

If we had money to burn my love
We’d live in a different world
You know that I’ve never had a lot
But I’ve never pretended to be a man I’m not

So until the day you begin to tire
Won’t you sit down beside me and warm by my fire

And if money is the route to all evil
We’re on a path to god knows where
The destination’s quite unclear
But I hope you’ll follow me there

And if we had money to burn my love
We’d live in a different world
You know that I’ve never had a lot
But I’ve never pretended to be a man I’m not

So until the day you begin to tire
Won’t you sit down beside me and warm by my fire
