[Verse 1] 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 'Cause he bet me five dimes, he could sink 'em with his foot He grabbed a stick, tried to kick it with his heel Did a sick 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 Was 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] Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's (That's a dead man's hand) Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's (That's a dead man's hand) Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's (That's a dead man's hand) Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's [Verse 2] 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 to 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 mouse and the cheese [Chorus] Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's (That's a dead man's hand) Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's (That's a dead man's hand) Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's (That's a dead man's hand) Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's That's a dead man's hand Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's That's a dead man's hand Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's That's a dead man's hand Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's That's a dead man's hand Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's That's a dead man's hand Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's That's a dead man's hand Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's Ace's and eight's
