[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Em D G C
I don’t wanna bet but my father wrote a check that I bet his ass could never cash
Em D G C
He’s betting on the eight ball landing in the side wall, coldblooded killer if you ask
Em D G
But every night he needs me to land himself a red threecorner pocket at twelve am
C Em D G C
Only twelve years old but I got a hold of a pool stick I was gifted from him
Em D
My father is a betting man

[Chorus]
G C
But I got myself a steady hand
Em D
He’s sitting in the corner with a sixpack of Corona
G C
Betting that his son will win again

[Verse 2]
Em
Go bet another sixpack
D
Bet I make a comeback
G C
Kinda like this table’s got a lean
Em D G C
Won’t you take me fishing and I want to try out for the seventh grade football team
Em D G C
He’ll probably be nothing but this town’s old drunkard and die on a smokestained stool
Em D G C
Right now he’s got a bargain that he’s taken too far on his boys’ game of nineball pool
Em D
My father was a betting man

[Chorus]
G C
But I got myself a steady hand
Em D
He’s sitting in the corner with a sixpack of Corona
G C
Betting that his son will win again
Em D G C
My father was a betting man
