Lyrics
Straight Draw Winner
(Chorus)
got an ace in the hole and a queen at my side
a jack in my truck and a king in my hide
I'm a complete ten when I look in the mirror
so give me that pot I'm a straight draw winner
(Verse)
I grew up playin cards with my pa
he said boy careful with what you draw
if you wanna do the flop tonight
then you better have cards that can put up a fight
(Chorus)
(verse 2)
listen now son if you like what you got
and your five cards now are lookin pretty hot
try and hold on for a whole nother turn
but not too fast you might get burned
(Chorus)
(verse 3)
his final words he said with a smile
if you think your gonna be around for awhile
jump all in to the river right now
before anyone has a chance to get out
(Chorus)
(verse 4)
so I threw down my hand and went for my chips
but the table said hey its not what you think
you ran in to a flush draw holder
and I said man, I'm thinkin about life, not poker
(Chorus)
(chorus)
(chorus)
end
