That Was a Crazy Game of Poker > Any Time Now

my twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
and the man to my left just folded down
well johnny doubled up with the royal flush
i had three jacks, and a pair of nines
my mind is turning, just two shots more
there's not much left to play, yeah
well then dude walks in, black hat on top
what a mop, i'm lucky it wasn't the county cop
cause i'm just running out of time
yeah

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
no no no

who's up for game three
i can't 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, yeah
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

i say now, scitili like that, oh baby how about that
i'm coming out the front, never coming out the back
well i walked into this bar yesterday
cause i had something to do, something to say
johnny walked in right behind me and i didn't turn around
until i heard the sound of his feet falling on that ground
i looked over my shoulder and i saw a clown
and i said whatcha doing in my bar tonight
ya'll say well i said johnny whatcha doing tonight
he looked at me with a face full of fright
and i said how about a revolution
and he said right

so i grabbed my forty-five and said let's get out and go, oh oh oh said
so he opened the door, whatcha here for
i said i'm wandering down this road forty-four
and i said i been walking for about a thousand years
well then my feet are growing tired
eyes are might wired

oh, what a lovely night we have on our hands
what a beautiful evening we've got on our hands
this reminds me of this day long ago
this man left it all behind
in search of a future
in search of a past
he ended up playing a game of cards with three wise men
and they taught him a lesson that he taught to me
well you can lose all your money, you can lose all your gold
you can never lose your heart, you can never lose your soul

that's why i'm not gonna quit
and i'm never gonna stop
i could not give a shit cause i have the drop
johnny got just two eyes just like mine
i'm feeling kind of funky, kind of fine
i drank a bottle of whiskey before i came
came to the place to see what's the same
saw my man named johnny sitting across the table from me
well to my left he was a man, i said he had no gin
didn't really think about starting to sin
the man to my right wasn't feeling kind of nice
he must've looked kind of mad, i felt bad
because i took his money last night, it's kinda funny
now i'm just struggling
i love my honey bunny
i don't know what to say anymore
just got to go out that door
well i said (johnny whatcha doing tonight
he looked at me with a face full of fright
and i said how about a revolution
and he said right)

i say of
ya'll say
i say revolution
and ya'll say jah
i say of
ya'll say a
a revolution
and ya'll say jah
i say of
and ya'll say a
a revolution
and ya'll say jah
i say of
ya'll say a
a revolution
and ya'll say
jehovah
jehovah is looking over me
jehovah
jehovah is living in my heart tonight

that was crazy
i feel hazy
life is amazing
ya'll been so damn good to us tonight
and i'm looking for my soul in your eyes every night
