Fast women slow horses and wine

I used to have money a home and a car
A horse and a dog and my old guitar
A pretty young wife just as sweet as could be
Now all I've got left is a family tree

Fast women slow horses and wine
Have made me an old man ahead of my time
My hair once black now with silver does shine
On account of fast women slow horses and wine

I first started playing the horses for fun
The years rolled along but I never once won
I then started slipping around on my wife
And I'll regret it the rest of my life

Fast women slow horses and wine...
[ steel ]
I've lost all my money my wife took the car
My home horse and dog and my old guitar
Her new husband is a big hillbilly star
And the women all swoon when he plays my guitar

Fast women slow horses and wine...
On account of fast women slow horses and wine
