Aces in my Hand
Waking up alone in Bristol Tennessee
Nothing but road ahead of me
Traveling the land, in someone else’s band
Gonna keep drawing cards till I got two aces in hand
They say the road goes on forever and the party never ends
Driving across the country playing music with my friends
I write the same old songs but to record em costs a grand
So imma keep drawing cards till I got two aces in hand
So I took my gig money to Caesar’s palace
Where the American way is pride and malice
Counted my luck, tossed in a buck
But two aces left me beat, because it’s blackjack and I’m a schmuck
They say the road goes on forever and the party never ends
Driving across the country playing music with my friends
I write the same old songs but to record em costs a grand
So imma keep drawing cards till I got two aces in hand
