Aces & 8's Lyrics - Double Wide - Uncle Kracker

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 

Is 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 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's 

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 hardcore 

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 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's 

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 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's, that's a dead man's hand 

Aces and 8's, aces and 8's 

Aces and 8's
