Uncle Kracker - "Aces And Eights" lyrics
*** Complimentary Aces And Eights Ringtone ***
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
'Cause 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 'cause 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'
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
'Cause 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 'cause 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 too the top
It won't stop 'cause
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 mose 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 twice
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 too the top
It won't stop 'cause
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 mose 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 twice
