Aces Eights lyrics

Artist  : Uncle Kracker 
Song : Aces Eights
 
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 5 dimes 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



Chorus:

Aces and eights, aces and
eights, aces and eights

That’s a dead
mands hand

Aces and eights, aces and
eights, aces and eights

That’s a dead
mands hand

Aces and eights, aces and
eights, aces and eights

That’s a dead
mands 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



(chorus)



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 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
boucned like a ball and that’s how you’ll
die



(chorus)
