Aces Eights Lyrics

Aces Eights lyrics

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 mands hand

Aces and eights,
aces and eights, aces and eights

That’s a dead mands hand

Aces and
eights, aces and eights, aces and eights

That’s a dead mands hand

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights



How about 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



(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 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 boucned like a ball and that’s how you’ll die



(chorus)
