Walked up in the bar and sat down on the stool
Looked across the room saw a guy who wanted a duel
He was playing pool and he thought i was good
Cause he threatened five times, he would sink me with his foot
He grabbed a stick, i tried to kick it with my heel
But it hit me in the head and i ended up full kneel
And I couldn’t feel but it must have really hurt
Because that night he took all my cash and my shirt
I got angry, but what's worse than that
You see, just as he was leaving he tipped his cap
Then he laughed and said, I'm sorry bout your luck
But as he walked out the door he got hit by a truck
There was a guy who used to hang in the clubs
Getting all the drinks and getting all the love
Picking on those he could thinking he was real hardcore
May he rest in peace i don't see him anymore
Lots of stories and old cliches
Small town girl trying to make her way
She moved to the city, all she wanted was a job
Now she's underneath the game trying 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
Imagine everything you ever worked for, strived for
Suddenly become everything you're gonna die for
Now what would you 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
If you bounce like a ball then that's how you'll die
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
To bear the storms that life may share;
To walk where only lions dare.
