Aces & Eights

Good morning sunshine You got dreams on your lips Was it the moonshine That got you to shake your hips? We eluded danger But it'll be coming around again And again It's a town of dreamers That's why I'm still here Nobody's a stranger If they whisper into your ear Everybody knows my name But nobody knows who the hell I am Foe or friend I'm a prince and a pauper I'm the gutter and the magistrate Still looking over my shoulder, one more time Holdin' aces and eights I had to steal for everything Listen to the blackbird sing From the ruthless carousel Babe I ain't got no regrets It's only failed opportunity Hey that's me You better be careful Is that a staff or a rattlesnake? Your never too safe, one more time Holdin' aces and eights Do you ever start to feel Like this whole thing's a fix? No matter what hand they deal Every dealer's got their tricks Maybe some sweet surrender Will be coming around again In the end I know my days are numbered Me and salvation got a date It's never too late, so sick of this hand Holdin' aces and eights
