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.
