Lyrics
0:27Walked up in the bar
0:28Sat down on the stool
0:29And got the low down from
0:31The guy with the jewel
0:32He was playin' pool and he
0:34Thought he was good
0:35'Cause he bet me five dimes
0:36He could sink 'em with his foot
0:38He grabbed a stick tried
0:39To kick it with his heel
0:40Did a sick back flip and
0:41Ended up full kneel
0:43He didn't squeal but it
0:45Looked like it hurt
0:46And it did 'cause he took
0:47Me for my cash and my shirt
0:49I got worked but what's worse than that
0:51Is just as he was leaving he tipped his hat
0:54Then he laughed and said I'm sorry
0:56About your luck
0:56When he walked out the door
0:58He got hit by a truck
1:00Aces and 8's aces and 8's
1:02Aces and 8's
1:03That's a dead man's hand
1:05Aces and 8's aces and 8's
1:07Aces and 8's
1:08That's a dead man's hand
1:10Aces and 8's aces and 8's
1:13Aces and 8's
1:14That's a dead man's hand
1:15Aces and 8's aces and 8's
1:18Aces and 8's
1:21How about the guy used to hang in the clubs
1:23Getting all the numbers and getting all the love
1:26He didn't wear gloves he was too hardcore
1:29May he rest in peace we don't see him anymore
1:32Lots of stories and old cliches
1:34Small town girl tryin' to make her way
1:37She moved to the city all she
1:38Wanted was a job
1:40Now she's underneath the desk
1:41Tryin' to move to the top
1:43It won't stop 'cause the
1:44Circle won't let it
1:45Be careful what you wish for
1:46You might get it
1:48You know the cat got
1:49Macked by the bees
1:50He was messin' with the honey
1:51And the mouse and the cheese
1:53Aces and 8's aces and 8's
