lyrics

i'm a rascal, i'm a thief, my favourite price is free
i'm a son of the road cause to me she can feel like home
like a freebird, flyin' high at the sickles of the river
like a shotgun to your heart to pull the trigger is the hardest part

packed my things a couple times
but i always come back and i down't know why
there's nobody when i look around
when i fall down to the ground

hey hey hey nobody knows who you really are

i'm a dreamer at this game
start with pair of aces everyday
i'm a gambler and i'm proud
i take the bet til the final countdown

i don't believe in politicians
i don't need their propositions
like a shotgun to your heart
to pull the trigger is the hardest part
