Lyrics:
- Pull in from the desert road
- Park your wagon, drop your load, and shut 'er down
- Poor boy you're bound to die
- Been a long hot desert ride
- Wasatch, Bear River, Devils Slide and Elko
- Poor boy you're bound to cry
- Poor boys and gamblers, road dogs and ramblers
- shutting it down for the night
- Winners and losers, hookers and boozers
- drawn like a bug to the light
- Grab a whiskey at the bar
- sit down to your deck of cards
- and throw your chips in
- Poor boy you're bound to cry
- Emerald, Misty, Violet Blue
- got a winking eye on you, and all night to wait
- Poor boy you're bound to die
- Poor boys and gamblers, road dogs and ramblers
- shutting it down for the night
- Winners and losers, hookers and cruisers
- crawling to the Elko tonight
- All alone, all alone
- been so long on this dusty road
- oh mama, I need a place to land
- Need a card, I need a card
- hit me lord, not too hard
- oh mama, I need a winning hand
- Morning coffee, steak and eggs
- stretch your legs, get down the road and rollin'
- Poor boy you're bound to cry
- She's a camptown on the ol' U P line
- Always shows up right on time at Elko
- Poor boy you're bound to die
- Poor boys and gamblers, road dogs and ramblers
- shutting it down for the night
- Winners and losers, hookers and boozers
- drawn like a bug to the light
- Poor boys and gamblers, road dogs and ramblers
- shutting it down for the night
- Winners and losers, hookers and cruisers
- crawling to the Elko night
- All alone, all alone
- been so long on this dusty road
- oh mama, I need a leg to stand on
- I need a card, I need a card
- hit me lord, not too hard
- oh mama, I need a winning hand
- All alone, all alone
- been so long on this dusty road
- oh mama, I need a place to land
- Need a card, I need a card
- hit me lord, not too hard
- oh mama, I need a winning hand
