You know I worked a little carny
I've been known to spin a tale
I've slept in many a boxcar
Traveled up and down the rails
I can roll them bones for money
Sometimes five will get you ten
Gonna love all of your women
But I'm on the road again
I can slip right through your hands,
I'm up early every morning,
try to catch me if you can.
I make you think you're dreaming
with a little sleight of hand
I can speak in any language
that you want to understand
I can conjure up a desert
from a single grain of sand
that you found the promised land
I can slip right through your hands
I'm up all night every mornin'
Try to catch me if you can
Know my way around the table
I can beat you at your game
You might think you know my action
But I never play the same
Not a place I haven't been
Not a thing I haven't done
Cause I'm born the seventh son,
I can slip right through your hands
I'm up all night every morning
Try to catch me if you can
