When the Game Gets Hot Songtext
von Corb Lund

Always remember what the old man taught
Don′t get greedy, and you won't get caught
You won′t get rich, but you won't get shot
You got to keep your cool when the game gets hot

Oh, when I play the game, I sometimes cheat
I'll take a little heat occasionally
But I wanna be invited back here next week
So, if I get lucky, hey, I′m everybody′s buddy, that's me

Knew what you drew before I dealt you your card
A cold deck, a second, a crimp or a mark
But I might let you off of the hook even yet
Because I′m sharp enough to know to not to win every bet


Always remember what the old man taught
Don't get greedy, and you won′t get caught
You won't get rich, but you won′t get shot
You gotta keep your cool when the game gets hot

Some of these guys like to splash it around
Talk real tough, big men around town
It'd feel real good just to take 'em down now
But it′s better that I let ′em bleed out real slow

Leave the milk and steal the cream
Don't kill the goose, don′t skin the sheep
Don't wanna get arrested in Omaha
Don′t wanna have my hands broke again in Arkansas

Always remember what the old man taught
Don't get greedy for every pot
You won′t get rich, but you won't get shot
You gotta keep your cool when the game gets hot
