Aces & Eights Songtext
von Michael McDermott

Good morning sunshine
You got dreams on your lips

Was it the moonshine
That got you to shake your hips?
We eluded danger
But it′ll be coming around again
And again

It's a town of dreamers
That′s why I'm still here
Nobody's a stranger
If they whisper into your ear
Everybody knows my name
But nobody knows who the hell I am
Foe or friend

I′m a prince and a pauper
I′m the gutter and the magistrate
Still looking over my shoulder, one more time
Holdin' aces and eights


I had to steal for everything
Listen to the blackbird sing
From the ruthless carousel
Babe I ain′t got no regrets
It's only failed opportunity
Hey that′s me

You better be careful
Is that a staff or a rattlesnake?
Your never too safe, one more time
Holdin' aces and eights

Do you ever start to feel
Like this whole thing′s a fix?
No matter what hand they deal
Every dealer's got their tricks
Maybe some sweet surrender
Will be coming around again
In the end

I know my days are numbered
Me and salvation got a date
It's never too late, so sick of this hand
Holdin′ aces and eights
