Lyrics
Pocket Aces
Settle up with the waitress
Close the tab
Great night, my friend, nice laughs
Guess that we'll part ways here
Go yours and I'll go mine
Great run - we had good times
I'll pretend that you're out on a run
And tomorrow you'll be home
I can't let you go
But I can't make you stay
It's alright, I'm alright, I'm OK
You know I'm still right here
And I know that you're there
But that's life, and life ain't fair
Pocket Aces, a perfect pair
No you, none better, nowhere
Maybe I'll just wait here
And stare at the evening sky
Cause I know you got a star up there
I keep thinking that I'll open up the door, and you'll be there
Cause you've been gone before
I can't let you go
But I can't make you stay
It's alright, I'm alright, I'm OK
You know I'm still right here
And I know that you're there
But that's life, and life ain't fair
You're a part of me, and if I believe that, I'm not alone
Honestly sometimes I think that maybe God got it wrong
I'm thankful for the time I know that life's a gift on loan
And then it's gone
Years from now when I see you again, this time
You're gonna walk me home.
I can't let you go
But I can't make you stay
It's alright, I'm alright, I'm OK
You know I'm still right here
And I know that you're there
But that's life, and life ain't fair
