Starline Gamblin Man by Bill Sutton Lyrics
I'm a drifter with a purpose, I'm a starline gamblin' man
I'll show you mine, you show me yours, but I've got the better hand
From Procyon to Altair IV I've taken from the best
So sit right here and play with me, and I'll break you like the rest
You must have lots of money in your fancy spacin' clothes
I bet you don't care where your money goes
I'm just a poor ex-spacer whose money's gettin' tight
Let's play some cards and try my luck tonight
I'm a drifter with a purpose, I'm a starline gamblin' man
I'll show you mine, you show me yours, but I've got the better hand
From Procyon to Altair IV I've taken from the best
So sit right here and play with me, and I'll break you like the rest
You're a young man fresh from college with a job and cash in hand
You want just one last fling before you land
I know just what you're needin', boy, come play a game with me
And I'll show you just how life is gonna be
I'm a drifter with a purpose, I'm a starline gamblin' man
I'll show you mine, you show me yours, but I've got the better hand
From Procyon to Altair IV I've taken from the best
So sit right here and play with me, and I'll break you like the rest
You don't think you're a gambler, well, I guess that's fine with me
If you don't play, then I don't take my fee
But three months is a long ride, and ship time passes slow
I'm sure I'll get my shot before you go
I'm a drifter with a purpose, I'm a starline gamblin' man
I'll show you mine, you show me yours, but I've got the better hand
From Procyon to Altair IV I've taken from the best
So sit right here and play with me, and I'll break you like the rest
Sometimes I stand on O deck and I stare out at the stars
And I wonder who the settled people are
The ones with hearth and family and worlds to call their own
And more than just the cards to bring 'em home
I'm a drifter with a purpose, I'm a starline gamblin' man
I'll show you mine, you show me yours, but I've got the better hand
From Procyon to Altair IV I've taken from the best
So sit right here and play with me, and I'll break you like the rest
I'm a drifter with a purpose, I'm a starline gamblin' man
I'll show you mine, you show me yours, but I've got the better hand
From Procyon to Altair IV I've taken from the best
So sit right here and play with me, and I'll break you like the rest
Yeah, sit right here and play with, and I'll break you like the rest
I'll show you mine, you show me yours, but I've got the better hand
From Procyon to Altair IV I've taken from the best
So sit right here and play with me, and I'll break you like the rest
You must have lots of money in your fancy spacin' clothes
I bet you don't care where your money goes
I'm just a poor ex-spacer whose money's gettin' tight
Let's play some cards and try my luck tonight
I'm a drifter with a purpose, I'm a starline gamblin' man
I'll show you mine, you show me yours, but I've got the better hand
From Procyon to Altair IV I've taken from the best

You're a young man fresh from college with a job and cash in hand
You want just one last fling before you land
I know just what you're needin', boy, come play a game with me
