Aces & Eights    
     
Oh, you know I wanna hold ya, Texas style
Pass me that bottle little girl, sit & stay a while
The game you wanna play, is the dangerous kind
‘Cause you got you another man, & I do think he’d mind

I’ll throw my chips on the table
I just can’t wait
I might be holding a dead man’s hand
It might be too late, but

I’ll bet it all on aces & eights

If you wanna change the game, I’ll take that bet
‘Cause there’s so many things you do, I haven’t seen yet.
Just one lingering question in the back of my mind.
When your man gets home, what’s he gonna find?

I’ll throw my chips on the table
I just can’t wait
Might be holding a dead man’s hand
It might be too late, but

I’ll bet it all on aces & eights.

SOLO

You know this joker’s wild when the queen’s on top.
Whatever you do now baby, don’t you stop.
If I’m a dead man walking, one last request.
Oh, I need you to just do what you do best.

I’ll throw my chips on the table
I’m going all in
Bet it all on a dead man’s hand
Original sin

I’ll bet it all on aces & eights

SOLO

Such a dirty trick
One that I’d expect
When you’re double dealing
From the bottom of the deck

I’ll bet it all on aces & eights

Double dealing
Soul Stealing
Twisted feeling
Got me reeling
Aces & eights
Aces & eights
