Aces And Eights

Walked up in the bar and 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

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

Now she's underneath the desk tryin' to move too the top

It won't stop cuz the circle won't let it

Be carefil what you wish for

You might get it

You know the cat got macked by thhe bees

He was messin' with the honey and the mose and the cheese

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

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 l
