Aces Eights 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 

'Cuz he bet me five times he could sink 'em with his foot 

He grabbed a stick tried to kick it with his heel 

Did a sic back flip and ended up full kneel 

He didn't squeal but it looked like it hurt 

And it did 'cuz he took me for my cash and my shirt 

I got worked but what's worse than that 

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 eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

How about 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 hard core 

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 'cuz 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 eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

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, strive for 

Suddenly becomin' everything your gonna die for 

Now what'd ya live for? Nothing anymore, right? 

How could you live your 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 eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights 

That's a dead man's hand 

Aces and eights, aces and eights, aces and eights
