Ace in the Hole

[Verse 1]

Some people say Jesus that's the ace in the hole

But I never met the man, so I don't really know

Maybe some Christmas if I'm sick and alone

He will look up my number, call me on the phone and I'll say

[Chorus]

Hey, boy, where you been so long?

Don't you know me, I'm your ace in the hole

[Verse 2]

Two hundred dollars, that's my ace in the hole

When I'm down, dirty and desperate that's my emergency bank roll

I got two hundred dollars, that's the price on the street

If you wanna get some quality that's the price you got to meet

And the man says

[Chorus]

Hey, junior, where you been so long?

Don't you know me, I'm your ace in the hole

Talkin' about ace in the hole

[Verse 3]

Once I was crazy and my ace in the hole

Was that I knew that I was crazy so I never lost my self-control

I just walk in the middle of the road, I sleep in the middle of the bed

I stop in the middle of a sentence and the voice in the middle of my head said

[Chorus]

Hey, junior, where you been so long?

Don't you know me, I'm your ace in the hole

Ace in the hole, lean on me

Don't you know me, I'm your guarantee

[Bridge]

Riding on this rolling bus beneath a stormy sky

With a slow moon rising and the smokestacks drifting by

In the hour when the heart is weakest and the memory is strong

When time has stopped, but the bus just rolls along

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

Roll on, roll on

[Verse 4]

Some people say music, that's their ace in the hole

Just your ordinary rhythm and blues, your basic rock and roll

You can sit on the top of the beat, you can lean on the side of the beat

You can hang from the bottom of the beat, but you got to admit that the music is sweet

[Chorus]

Where you been so long?

Don't you know me, I'm your ace in the hole

Ace in the hole, lean on me

Don't you know me, I'm your guarantee

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

Some people say music, that's their ace in the hole

Just your ordinary rhythm and blues, your basic rock and roll

You can sit on the top of the beat, you can lean on the side of the beat

You can hang from the bottom of the beat, but you got to admit that the music is sweet

[Outro]

I'm calling you

Hey, junior, I'm your ace in the hole

I'm calling you

Hey, junior, I'm your ace in the hole

I'm calling you

Hey, junior, I'm your ace in the hole

Hey, junior, I'm your ace in the hole
