"Texas Hold'em" lyrics

"Texas Hold'em"

I was writing this down even as I got on the plane
Like a dealer, you can cash me out and everything
Thought you might sing along
Yeah, I got it on the brain
Something like I can fly, like paper planes in the pouring rain

And I don't know why I still howl at the moon
But I do when I think of you
And I don't know why I told you I'd see you soon
But I will if you want me to

Straight up poker for a couple of pennies
Never made sense and I never made many friends
And December was the coldest
And I hate guns like I hate bad jokes
But steady hands and I blow smoke now and then
Texas taught me how to hold 'em
The way I feel I might stay
Till you say good night, babe
Mio Babbino Caro
I'll jump into the ocean
The way I feel I might go
Play with you all night, no
My cards, I'll never show them
Texas taught me how to hold 'em

I was on your side of town just trying to chill
Like a dealer, you can hit me back
Oh, Lord knows you will
Either way, 'm on a roll laying sideways on a hill
Either way, we're on a roll, we were rolling bills

And I don't know why I still howl at the moon
But I do when I think of you
And I don't know why I told you I'd see you soon
But I will if you want me to

Straight up poker for a couple of pennies
Never made sense and I never made many friends
And December was the coldest
And I hate guns like I hate bad jokes
But steady hands and I blow smoke now and then
Texas taught me how to hold 'em
The way I feel I might stay
Till you say good night, babe
Mio Babbino Caro
I'll jump into the ocean
The way I feel I might go
Play with you all night, no
My cards, I'll never show them
Texas taught me how to hold 'em

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Straight up poker for a couple of pennies
Never made sense and I never made many friends
And December was the coldest
And I hate guns like I hate bad jokes
But steady hands and I blow smoke now and then
Texas taught me how to hold 'em
The way I feel I might stay
Till you say good night, babe
Mio Babbino Caro
I'll jump into the ocean
The way I feel I might go
Play with you all night, no
My cards, I'll never show them
Texas taught me how to hold 'em
