You can keep on pushing But I know you're never gonna fight You better keep on looking 'Cause it's written down in black and white
Seven come eleven, you're rolling snake eyes Every time you roll the dice There's some good old blood I'd help if I could But don't you know my hands are tied
You got your back to the wall Should you raise or call? I wouldn't take that chance You got the dead man's hand
The light in the tunnel Is gonna be a rumbling train Loaded full of trouble The next stop has got your name
You got a one-way ticket on a dead end track You take it on down the line Before you knew what hit ya You were flat on your back But you thought that you were doing alright
You got your back to the wall Should you raise or call? I wouldn't take that chance You got the dead man's hand
You stay on top to get a roll You never stop till you lose it all Yeah, you were hot but now you're cold Watch another one take the fall
You gonna keep on talking Hoping you can justify Tell your story when you're walking 'Cause the wishing well is running dry
You getting highs and lows And the lady knows you're playing for your life You're a dead man holding aces and eights And your luck's fun out this time
You got your back to the wall Should you raise or call? I wouldn't take that chance You got the dead man's hand
You got your back to the wall Should you raise or call? I wouldn't take that chance You got the dead man's hand
