Buck Owens - Nugget Lament lyrics

Well I went to the nugget with my pockets full of money Big ole diamond rings on my hand I rolled into town, in a big long Cadillac I was a man with a plan With smile on my face I walked up to the table And threw down a hundred dollar bill Bakersfield, I'm on my way Dear old daddy, come through again They took my bankroll, my diamond rings, my Cadillac But the thing that hurt the most about the whole danged act Was the audacity, to smile and say... please hurry back! So I called up my buddy, and said "lend me some money" For I could feel a hot streak coming on Bakersfield, I'm on my way Dear old daddy, come through again Alas, They took my bankroll, my diamond rings, my Cadillac Had the audacity, to smile and say... please hurry back! But the thing that hurt the most about the whole danged act Was when he grinned, said let's be friends... well I thought I'd choke For if I ever need, a friend again... I'll buy a dog!
