Ace In the Hole

Back stabbing, Lord back talking Fools running off at the mouth When the big wind blows chilly and cold The wise fool flies south Livin' on beans and nicotine And a tale my papa told He said look the poor boy is going down But I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole Ace in the hole Old man time has got my body Ol' Scratch has got my soul So don't shed no tears when I go down 'Cause I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole You're leaving and I'm staying I guess I'll be leaving too If the roads we're on cross down the way Let's drown a bottle or two You always had a joker up your sleeve When the hard times got too cold Don't look at me and say down in the mouth 'Cause I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole Ace in the hole Old man time has got my body Ol' Scratch has got my soul But don't shed no tears when I go down 'Cause I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole 17 and Lord I'm beaming Don't ask me to pay twice Matchbox garter in the Ol' French Quarter Oh what a fool's paradise Books and plans They could not stand The sun shines orange and gold Kings and queens all dressed in rags But I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole Ace in the hole Old man time has got my body Ol' Scratch has got my soul But don't shed no tears when I go down 'Cause I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole You're leaving and I'm staying I guess I'll be leaving too If the roads we're on cross down the way Let's drown a bottle or two You always had a joker up your sleeve When the hard times got too cold Don't look at me and say down in the mouth 'Cause I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole I got an ace in the hole
