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
