That Was a Crazy Game of Poker > Rain Or Shine

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
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 my time

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

Oh

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

Who's up for game three?
I can barely see that bourbon drowning next to me
I just lost it all
Well 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
Well I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And I'm never to fall
Never to fall

Rawh ah oh rawh ah oh... (skat)
But how bout that
Skat baby how bout that
You see me coming out the front, I'm never coming out the back
You know that I walked into that bar yesterday
I had something to do, something to say
I walked in behind me and I did not turn around, oh no
Till I heard that sound of them feet fallin' on that ground
Looked over my shoulder and and I saw that clown I said whatcha doing in the place tonight?

So I asked Johnny whatcha doing tonight? (He looked at me with a face full of fright?
And I said how bout a revolution)
And he said right
I say of, you say a, I say revolution, and you say Jah
I say of, you say a, I say revolution, and you say
My god be with me

So here I am, it's just me playing one hand Against the devil for my life
Man, I lost my sand
I gotta get my game on, gotta get my face on
Gott get my drink on, gotta get my name on
Gotta let em know, the devil made do it
But I did it any how, I'm never gonna stop it
Until you let me go, I can't be held down
This game's just a game of life and I'm around
This clown try to take my dollars and cents
And I gave em over man there's not much sense
To hold em back, there just gold and diamonds
A little bit of that silver be shining
I can't stop, I won't let it happen
I'm out, my man named Johnny let it happen
So we just sat at the table and smiled
And the game went on through the night

Till I asked Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
And then he looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said (how bout a revolution?
And he said, right)
And I say of, you say a, revolution, and you say Jah
I say of, you say a, revolution, and you say
May god come with me

I'm not gonna quit, I won't ever stop
Don't give a shit, because I've got the drop
And you shouldn't ever quit, and don't you ever stop
And don't give a shit, because you got the drop
And you all got eyes, two eyes just like mine
I'm feeling mighty funky, kinda fine
I drink a bottle of whiskey before I came
To the place, man, to see whats the same
My man named Johnny sittin across the table from me

To my left there was a man, see he had no no gin
And he didn't really think about startin to sin
And the man to my right wasn't feelin mighty nice
He musta looked kinda mad, I think I felt kinda bad
I took his money last night, kinda funny
Now I'm just strugglin, (I love my honey bunny)
I don't know what to say anymore
I want to hear you, sing it at me from the floor

You see now I ask Johnny whatcha doin tonight He looked at me (with a face full of fright
And I said how bout a revolution)
And he said, right
And I say of, you say a, revolution, and you say Jah
I say of, you say a, revolution, and you say Jah
I say of, you say a, revolution, and you say Jah
I say of, you say a, revolution
May god be with me
Watch over me, watch over me
Don't let me go to the devil tonight
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Watch over me
