"Only Game in Town" lyrics

"Only Game in Town"

Hey man are you sure you want to do this?

It's the only game in town
You can see em all runnin' when it comes around
You may have aces up your sleeve
That don't matter because this joker's king
So go ahead buddy, throw em down
But remember, it's the only game in town

If you're feeling lucky go on and have a seat
Some play for pleasure, me I play for keeps
You say you're on a hot streak, well go on and place your bet
Let's just see how far your love gets

It's the only game in town
You can see em all runnin' when it comes around
I hear you got aces up your sleeve
But that don't matter cause this joker's king
Go ahead buddy, throw em down
But remember, it's the only game in town

How bout a little game of five card stud?
Spades black as coal and diamonds red as blood
If you want to get your heart broke
Well, just join the club
How about a little game of five card stud?

It's the only game in town
I can see em all runnin' when it comes around
I bet you got aces up your sleeve
That don't matter because this joker's king
Go ahead buddy, throw em down
But remember, it's the only game in town

That's best not to show your hand
I can see your sweatin, you feeling alright man?
You came in feeling lucky, we all know how that is
The dealer's my friend and the house always wins

It's the only game in town
I like to watch em all running when it comes around
They say you got aces hidden up your sleeve
But that don't matter none, you see this joker's king
So go ahead buddy, throw em down
But remember, it's the only game in town
You just go ahead mister and throw em on down
But don't forget, it's the only game in town
