The Radiators - Ace In The Hole текст песни

Back stabbing, Lord back talking
Fools running off at the mouth
When the big wind blows chilly and cold
The wise fool flies south
Livin' on beans and nicotine
And a tale my papa told
He said look the poor boy is going down
But I got an ace in the hole

I got an ace in the hole
Ace in the hole
Old man time has got my body
Ol' Scratch has got my soul
So don't she'd no tears when I go down
'Cause I got an ace in the hole
I got an ace in the hole
I got an ace in the hole

You're leaving and I'm staying
I guess I'll be leaving too
If the roads we're on cross down the way
Let's drown a bottle or two
You always had a joker up your sleeve
When the hard times got too cold
Don't look at me and say down in the mouth
'Cause I got an ace in the hole

I got an ace in the hole
Ace in the hole
Old man time has got my body
Ol' Scratch has got my soul
But don't she'd no tears when I go down
'Cause I got an ace in the hole
I got an ace in the hole
I got an ace in the hole

17 and Lord I'm beaming
Don't ask me to pay twice
Matchbox garter in the Ol' French Quarter
Oh what a fool's paradise
Books and plans
They could not stand
The sun shines orange and gold
Kings and queens all dressed in rags
But I got an ace in the hole

I got an ace in the hole
Ace in the hole
