I was just picking an kinda makin up words as I went... I had the course in my mind, don't know why.  My son inllaw liked it..  that was 12 years ago.  So I wrote some words in between courses. Then  Dave, Arlene an I worked on it some.

Its about a truck driver, picked up a gal on the road.  well him an her started drinking an finaly ended up at a casino.  he spent all his money he was suppost to use for  buying fuel.  so he resorted to robery. well it went bad an he ended up shootin a couple of fellas.. got put in prison for life.  well he dont drink or gamble..  why because he repented or because the prison dont allow it?  but hes using it as an excuse to try to get out of prison....

Theres thoes who drink an thoes who smoke, thoes who gamble an thoes who
 won't     precious lord help me my precious lord

Well I took my old truck out of Bakersfield    I  headed on down to highway 99     there I met a little gal   she asked me to buy her some wine  an we got some ciagretts that we smoked from time to time.

thoes who drink an thoes who smoke, thoes who gamble an thoes who
 won't  precious lord help me my precious lord


well she said ya got any money   I said enough for fulein to keep this truck a movein  on down 99       she said ya want to go to Vegas   I said ok   I went an spent the day I gambled my money away.

  thoes who drink an thoes who smoke, thoes who gamble an thoes who
 won't  precious lord help me my precious lord

 I couldnt find that gal    I had no money   I ducked into a truck stop pulled out a 44     there I shot two men I shot um to the floor  then I grabed a bottle of wine all the money I could find     they put me down in prison a doin 99   a doin 99 for shootin them fellas down.

thoes who drink an thoes who smoke, thoes who gamble an thoes who
 won't    precious lord help me my precious lord


Well I've become a rightous man    went an changed my ways     I dont drink or smoke    a gamblein I'll quit some day

thoes who drink an thoes who smoke, thoes who gamble an thoes who
 won't     precious lord help me my precious lord

precious lord help me I wanta be free.
