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
And everybody knows my name
And nobody knows who the hell I am
For a friend

I′m a prince and a pauper
I′m the gutter and the magistrate
Still looking over my shoulder
One more time
Holding aces and eights


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

Oh, you better be careful
Is that a staff or a rattlesnake?
Oh, it′s never too late
One more time
Holding aces and eights

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

I know my days are numbered
Me and salvation got a date
Oh, for heaven's sake
So sick of this game
Holding aces and eights
Holding aces and eights
Holding aces and eights
