This is a road song literally and figuratively. I wrote it while driving down the highway in a particularly good frame of mind. I like to travel and especially like just rolling down the highway. It's like a form of meditation for me. And yes I do hav

Lyrics
I?M IN A GAMBLIN? MOOD
Words and music by Stephen P. Amos
I?ve got a Dodge Ram Truck and the will to drive,
Hey I?m in a gamblin? mood tonight,
I got a voo doo charm on my rabbit?s foot,
My mojo?s working and I knocked on wood,
Boys deal the cards and girls guard you hearts,
I?m in a gamblin? mood,
CHORUS
I?m in a gamblin? mood and I don?t care,
My horoscope warned me I ought to beware,
It don?t matter wrong or right,
I?m in a gamblin? mood tonight.
I dialed up the preacher on the radio,
He?s talking about heaven and savin? souls,
Preachin? against the wages of sin,
But he don?t know the places I?ve been,
If he could just see I reckon he?d be,
In a gamblin? mood.
CHORUS
There?s a girl named Mona livin? over the line,
She?s a heartache waitin? for a heart like mine,
She just chews love up and then spits it out,
Never been tamed and won?t start now,
That?s the name of the game and I?m stakin? my claim,
I?m in a gamblin? mood.
CHORUS
Oooooh, Oooooh, I?m in a gamblin? mood tonight,
Oh no, put the peddle to the metal and hold on tight.
CHORUS
