Em                       D
I don't wanna bet but my father wrote
                G                       C
a check that I bet his ass could never cash
Em                              D
He's betting on the eight ball landing
                   G                         C
in the side wall, cold blooded killer if you ask
Em                              D
But every night he needs me to land himself
             G                  C
a red three corner pocket at 12 am
Em                        D
Only twelve years old but I got a hold of
   G                            C
a pool stick I was gifted from him

Chorus:
               Em         D
My father is a betting man
                     G      C
But I got myself a steady hand
                     Em                          D
He's sitting in the corner with a six pack of Corona
                           G        C
Betting that his son will win again

Go bet another six-pack, bet I make a comeback
I know that this table's got a lean
Won't you take me fishing? And I wanna try out
For the seventh grade football team
You'll probably be nothin’ but
this town’s old drunkard
And die on a smoke-stained stool
But right now, he's got a bargain
that he’s taken too far
On his boy's game of nine-ball pool

Chorus:
My father was a bettin' man
But I got myself a steady hand
He's sittin’ in the corner with a six-pack of Corona
Bettin' that his son'll win again
My father was a bettin' man

My father was a bettin' man
But I got myself a steady hand
He's sittin' in the corner with a six-pack of Corona
Bettin' that his son'll win again

I don't wanna bet, but my daddy wrote a check
That I bet his ass could never cash
He's bettin' on the eight ball landin'
in the side wall
Cold-blooded killer if you ask
