Uncle Kracker - Aces Eights Lyrics
Walked up in the bar sat down on the stoolAnd got the low down from the guy with the jewelHe was playin pool and he thought he was goodCuz he bet me 5 dimes he could sink em with his footHe grabbed a stick tried to kick it with his heelDid a sic back flip and ended up full kneelHe didnt squeal but it looked like it hurtAnd it did cuz he took me for my cash and my shirtI got worked but whats worse than thatJust as he was leaving he tipped his hatThen he laughed and said Im sorry bout your luckWhen he walked out the door he got hit by a truckChorus:Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eightsThats a dead mands handAces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eightsThats a dead mands handAces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eightsThats a dead mands handAces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eightsHow about the guy used to hang in the clubsGetting all the numbers and getting all the loveHe didnt wear gloves he was too hard coreMay he rest in peace we dont see him anymoreLots of stories and old clichesSmall town girl tryin to make her wayShe moved to the city all she wanted was a jobNow shes underneath the desk tryin to move to the topIt wont stop cuz the circle wont let itBe careful what you wish forYou might get itYou know the cat got macked by the beesHe was messin with the honey and the mouse and the cheese(chorus)You could beat the system you could beat your girlBut who ya gonna beat come the end of the world(imagine) everything you ever worked for (strived for)Suddenly becomin everything your gonna die forNow whatd ya live for? nothing anymore rightHow could you live your life uptight?See everything you did and everything you seenRolled around in the mud but you couldnt come cleanAnd that makes you dirty now how does that feel?Living life like an open cut that wont healSore at the world and you dont know whyYou boucned like a ball and thats how youll die(chorus)
