Cards in San Antone Lyrics by Ned LeDoux

Buckskin

2022

[Verse 1]
In a hotel with no power
No water and no heat
We played poker by Jesus candlelight
They said it was a rollin' blackout
But nothin' rolled our way
I guess that we'll just ride it out tonight
[Verse 2]
We played the rodeo in town
We were flyin' out today
But Mother Nature, she had other plans
Sometimes the only choice you have
Is no choice at all
So go ahead, deal another hand
[Chorus]
Well, home can seem so far
When there's no way to get there
Time refuses to move on
We should have been in Denver
Gettin' ready for a show
But we're stuck here playin' cards in San Antone
[Verse 3]
One night turned to four and then five
And I brought clothes for two
Well, I must admit it's all gettin' us down
Livin' on Jimmy Dean biscuits
And gettin' beer from a joint next door
And placin' bets when we're gettin' outta this town
[Chorus]
Well, home can seem so far
When there's no way to get there
Time refuses to move on
And we should have been in Denver
Gettin' ready for a show
But we're stuck here playin' cards in San Antone
[Bridge]
We could see the lights on the Alamo Dome
And downtown too
And I'm sittin' here, bookin' these backup flights
In this cold dark room
[Chorus]
Well, home can seem so far
When there's no way to get there
Time refuses to move on
Well, I counted all my blessings
When our plane took to the sky
We left those cards face down in San Antone
We left those cards face down in San Antone
