That Was a Crazy Game of Poker > Live on Red Rocks

Oh, yeah
Oh oh, yeah
Oh no here I am once again
Life in my hands
Playing cards with the devil again
Well oh oh, oh yeah
Oh no it's gone
Well here I am once again
Life life in my hands
Playing I'm playing cards with the devil again
I think I took myself oh no
Oh my
Oh
Oh my
Oh
Yeah yeah
Yeah it's gonna
It's gonna change everything that I've got
And I can't help to think oh my
Oh my

Oh my
Twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
And the man to my left just folded down
Johnny doubled up with a Royal Flush
I had three Jacks and a pair of Nines
Well my mind is turning just two shots more
Not much left to play
Then dude walk in, black hat on top, what a mop
I'm lucky it wasn't a county cop, cause I'm just running out of time

Who's up for game two, what to do?
My wallet's getting thin and I just lost my watch last night
Well I got a problem just one answer gotta throw it all down
(And kiss that shit goodbye)
Yeah

That was a crazy game of poker
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And I'm never to fall
Never to fall

Who's up for game three?
I can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me
I just lost it all
There's a man sitting next to me
Red with smiling eyes
It's funny, I don't have no money tonight
Oh no

That was a crazy game of poker (I see you in the back)
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And I'm never to fall
Never to fall

Bra diggity dat.... picked a reason but you just don't know
I say now skat, my baby how bout that
You see me coming out the front, never out that back
And I walk into the bar yesterday
I had something to do, something to say
He walked in behind me and I did not turn around, oh
Till I heard that sound of feet banging on that ground
Looked over my shoulder and I saw me a clown
And I said what y'all doing on the rock tonight

So I asked Johnny what you doing tonight
He looked at me with a face full of fright
(And I said how about a revolution)
And he said

I say of, you say a, a revolution, and you say Jah
I say now of, you say a, a revolution, and you say
Will you all come with me

Here I am
Life, life in my hands
Playing down with the devil again
I stacked my money kinda high so I can hide behind it
Stacked my money kinda high so I'm blinded
But I'm never gonna know if I hide
Never gonna know if I stop
Never gonna know God arrived
Because in the end my friend
We'll all be together again
And that's my plan in the end
So I'm back to the show here we go

But it's alright
We up high tonight, yeah
We in the mountains and we doing alright
Colorado come and let me know
But I got got this feeling
And it won't let me go
But I won't get there I just don't know
Devil in my eye man he ready to blow
He said my man would you just sit back for a minute and think about your day
Well let's see I got up at nine
I'm feeling alright
Clothes on my back man I'm ready to fly
And by noon man there's much to do
I ended up in a storm about a quarter to 4
Yeah I'm playing cards for my life
My heart beat hot and it never gonna stop
But I'm at the spot
And the man devil said back to the show
Take it with the flow
Here we go, here we go

And I'm not gonna quit, and I won't ever stop
No, won't ever quit, won't ever stop
Won't ever quit, won't you ever stop
Don't you give a shit because you've got the drop
And you shouldn't ever quit, don't you ever stop
Don't give a shit because you've got the drop

You all got eyes, two eyes just like mine
Feeling mighty funky, kinda fine
Drank a bottle of whiskey before I came
To the place, man, to see what's the same
My man named Johnny sitting across the table from me

To my left there was a man, you see he had no, no gin
He didn't really think about starting to sin
You see the man to my right, he wasn't feeling mighty nice
He musta looked kinda mad, man I felt kinda bad
I took his money last night, kinda funny
I'm just struggling (I love my honey bunny)
I don't know what to say any more
I need to hear you sing to me from the floor

You see now I asked Johnny what you doin tonight
(He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution)
And he said

I said of, you say a, revolution, and you say Jah
I say now of, you say a, revolution, and you say Jah
I say of, and you say a, a revolution, you say Jah
I say of, you say a, revolution, will you all come with me
Watch over me tonight? You all come with me

You look so damn good, you have no idea. Thank you so much.
