  • Dolly Parton Gamble Either Way Lyrics

           

    Being born was the worst and the first mistake I ever made

    The doctor didn't spank me he just slapped me in the face

    And the cup of love was always quenchin' someone else's thirst

    Leaving me to swallow the bitter taste of hurt

    Cause I was raised an orphan never wanted as a kid

    Until the year I turned thirteen then everybody did

    Strangers passed me back and forth men just took me as they pleased

    And others had a Cinderella slave to cook and clean and weave

    Though the deck is stacked against you win or lose you have to play

    The hand that life has dealt you and it's a gamble eather way



    On a dusty road at fifteen in a yellow cotton dress

    With the desert sun like an hungry dragon breathing down my neck

    And the dry cracked plains would make me think of a prehistoric time

    Should I fear what lay before me less than what I'd left behind

    A fifteen year old girl don't have no trouble hitchin' rides

    But sometimes when you're ridin' free you'll pay the highest price

    On backroads and in backseats and in cheap highway motels

    But what's a few more strangers in a life of nothing else

    Though the deck is stacked against you win or lose you have to play

    The hand that life has dealt you and it's a gamble eather way



    Sixteen caught me cryin' underneath a scarlet light

    On the doorstep of a stranger on a cold and rainy night

    When I walked into the parlor here all the pieces seemed to fit

    I was good at pleasin' strangers so I made the most of it

    Either way is all a gamble so view the stakes and know the odds

    And lay your cards up on the table do all your dealin' from the top

    Though the deck is stacked against you win or lose you have to play

    The hand that life has dealt you and it's a gamble eather way

    Yes it's a gamble eather way
