(Hold the line)

Linin' them up

I remember they shoot 'em

Never dared dream that they'd shoot anyone

Now I'm a simple man tied on the vine

Caught up in the times

And fates on my right hand

CHORUS



Gamble of the ages

Suit me up

I'm ready to go

Oh such a young man

When the loading had begun

(I guess, I guess)



Don't press your luck angel face

Don't push it out

Shove you way to the front too fast

I was framed no holds barred

So they say

I can't believe that it ended all like this



Gamble of the ages

Suit me up

I'm ready to go

Oh such a young man

When the loading had begun



When I was a boy I would dream about space

Space it would change year to year

When she would take me down way down by the stream

Oh that last frontier

I still can hear he say "be home before dark"

Put one here upon me baby

Remember me for what I was

Tell the man who'll be settin' me up

I'll be back before you know

Where is that pilgrim saint

We'll see the next time we get back up

She said, "you might be

ex-patriot but i'll love you like the sun



Gamble of the ages

Suit me up

I'm ready to go

Oh to be such a young man

When the loading time began

Began..........

Hey...ho!!!!!!!!

Oh I'm a simple man

mmmmmmghhhh

Tied on the vine
