h, let me tell you all about it
Well now I'm just a gambler
Oh baby, a total midnight rambler
Yes, I said a,
From the gutter to the fancy learnin' halls
But its another spin of the bottle
'Nother burn denied me
At the end of the tunnel
Think I can see the light
Cause I'm a-a reckless abandoner
And I live my life like a son-of-a-gun
Oh I'm a reckless abandoner
Ohhh, and I live my life for you
Yes, picked up the pieces
Mmmm, in my mind
I started over again
And I planned to have the music for myself
Through this thick and thin
But, it's another spin of the bottle
'Nother burn denied
And at the end of the tunnel
Think I can see the light
Light, oh yes the light
Cause I'm a reckless abandoner
(Reckless abandoner)
And I live my life like a son-of-a-gun
(Oooooooooooooooo)
Oh I'm a reckless abandoner
(Reckless abandoner)
Oh and I live my life for you
(Oooooooooooooooo)
Yes, I live my life for you
(Oooooooooooooooo)
For all of you, oh yeah
Well, tied up my bootlace
Ohhh, I finished my last drink
And I wiped the sweat off my nasty brow
I spit my blood up in the sand
But it never gets so bad
That you can't stand the pain
And the only good reason that I can think of
Is to sing a song for you again
But, it's another spin of the bottle
'Nother burn denied
And at the end of the tunnel
Think I can see the light
Light, oh yes the light
Cause I'm a reckless abandoner
(Reckless abandoner)
And I live my life like a son-of-a-gun
(Oooooooooooooooo)
Oh I'm a reckless abandoner
(Reckless abandoner)
Oh and I live my life for you
(Oooooooooooooooo)
Oh baby, I live my life for you
(Oooooooooooooooo)
Oh I live my life for you
(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
For all of you, I live my life-ife-ife-ife for all of you
