When the Game Gets Hot

Always remember what the old man taught Don't get greedy, and you won't get caught You won't get rich, but you won't get shot You got to keep your cool when the game gets hot Oh, when I play the game, I sometimes cheat I'll take a little heat occasionally But I wanna be invited back here next week So, if I get lucky, hey, I'm everybody's buddy, that's me Knew what you drew before I dealt you your card A cold deck, a second, a crimp or a mark But I might let you off of the hook even yet Because I'm sharp enough to know to not to win every bet Always remember what the old man taught Don't get greedy, and you won't get caught You won't get rich, but you won't get shot You gotta keep your cool when the game gets hot Some of these guys like to splash it around Talk real tough, big men around town It'd feel real good just to take 'em down now But it's better that I let 'em bleed out real slow Leave the milk and steal the cream Don't kill the goose, don't skin the sheep Don't wanna get arrested in Omaha Don't wanna have my hands broke again in Arkansas Always remember what the old man taught Don't get greedy for every pot You won't get rich, but you won't get shot You gotta keep your cool when the game gets hot
