Ace in the hole lyrics

Artist  : Paul simon 
Song : Ace in the hole
 
Some people say Jesus that's the ace in the hole 
But I never met the man so I don't really know 
Maybe some Christmas if I'm sick and alone 
He will look up my number 
Call me on the phone and say 
Hey, boy, where you been so long 
Don't you know me 
I'm your ace in the hole 
 
Two hundred dollars, that's my ace in the hole 
When I'm down, dirty and desperate 
That's my emergency bank roll (I got) 
Two hundred dollars, that's the price on the
street 
If you wanna get some quality 
That's the price you got to meet (and the man
says) 
Hey, Junior, where you been so long 
Don't you know me 
I'm your ace in the hole 
(talk about ace in the hole) 
 
Once I was crazy and my ace in the hole 
Was that I knew that I was crazy 
So I never lost my self-control 
I just walk in the middle of the road and 
I sleep in the middle of the bed 
I stop in the middle of a sentence 
And the voice in the middle of my head said 
Hey, Junior, where you been so long 
Don't you know me 
I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah) 
 
Ace in the hole 
Lean on me 
Don't you know me 
I'm your guarantee 
 
Riding on this rolling bus 
Beneath a stony sky 
With a slow moon rising 
And the smokestacks drifting by 
In the hour when the heart is weak 
And the memory is strong 
When time has stopped 
And the bus just rolls along 
Roll on, roll on 
Roll on, roll on 
Roll on, roll on 
 
Some people say music that's their ace in the
hole 
Just your ordinary rhythm and blues 
Your basic rock and roll 
 
You can sit on the top of the beat 
You can lean on the side of the beat 
You can hang from the bottom of the beat 
But you got to admit that the music is sweet 
 
Where you been so long 
Don't you know me 
I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah) 
 
Ace in the hole 
Lean on me 
Don't you know me 
I'm your guarantee 
 
Some people say music that’s their ace in
the hole 
Just your ordinary rhythm and blues 
Your basic rock and roll 
You can sit on the top of the beat 
You can lean on the side of the beat 
You can hang from the bottom of the beat 
But you gotta admit that the music is sweet 
 
Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole 
Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole 
Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole 
Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole
