VERSE #1

Playing Texas Hold’em well

Is tough, even for the gifted

But when the cards are dealt

And the corners lifted

You’re hopin’ for a pair of aces.

CHORUS:

Man I love that rock and roll,

Fast cars and pretty faces.

But I call out to God at the very sight

Of a pair of pocket aces.

VERSE #2

I was glad my room was comped

The cards, they weren’t showin’ me love.

Yes I was getting stomped

Then my eyes caught sight of

A gorgeous pair of pocket aces.

CHORUS:

Man I love that rock and roll,

Fast cars and pretty faces.

But I call out to God at the very sight

Of a pair of pocket aces.

VERSE #3

Cancer made my lover ill

She fought, but the illness took her.

But in my life was still

Our fine son and daughter

They trump out any pocket aces.

CHORUS:

Man I love that rock and roll,

Fast cars and pretty faces.

But I call out to God at the very sight

Of a pair of pocket aces.

The End.
