"ACES AND EIGHTS"
|
|
Walked up in the bar sat down on the stool
|
And got the low down from the guy with the jewel
|
He was playin' pool and he thought he was good
|
Cuz he bet me 5 dimes he could sink em with his foot
|
He grabbed a stick tried to kick it with his heel
|
Did a sic back flip and ended up full kneel
|
He didn't squeal but it looked like it hurt
|
And it did cuz he took me for my cash and my shirt
|
I got worked but what's worse than that
|
Just as he was leaving he tipped his hat
|
Then he laughed and said "I'm sorry `bout your luck"
|
When he walked out the door he got hit by a truck
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights
|
That's a dead mans hand
|
Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights
|
That's a dead mans hand
|
Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights
|
That's a dead mans hand
|
Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights
|
|
How bout the guy used to hang in the clubs
|
Getting all the numbers and getting all the love
|
He didn't wear gloves he was too hard core
|
May he rest in peace we don't see him anymore
|
Lots of stories and old cliches
|
Small town girl tryin' to make her way
|
She moved to the city all she wanted was a job
|
Now she's underneath the desk tryin' to move to the top
|
It won't stop cuz the circle won't let it
|
Be careful what you wish for
|
You might get it
|
You know the cat got macked by the bees
|
He was messin' with the honey and the mouse and the cheese
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
You could beat the system you could beat your girl
|
But who ya gonna beat come the end of the world
|
(Imagine) everything you ever worked for (strived for)
|
Suddenly becomin' everything your gonna die for
|
Now what'd ya live for? Nothing anymore right
|
How could you live your whole life uptight?
|
See everything you did and everything you seen
|
Rolled around in the mud but you couldn't come clean
|
And that makes you dirty now how does that feel?
|
Living life like an open cut that won't heal
|
Sore at the world and you don't know why
|
You bounced like a ball and that's how you'll die
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
